Expanded to 8 vols. No new information or in-depth discussion of the visual arts. Names of visual artists included in the accounts of each period of black history are often lumped into a one sentence list; very few have additional biographical entries.

Hopefully future editions will follow the path of the substantially expanded edition of 2005 and will alter the overall impression that black visual artists are not worth the time and attention of the editors.

A long and important historical breakpoint article marking the beginning of a shift in art world opinion toward the work of black artists. "In a sleepy, uneventful art season, there are the rumblings of an earthquake. After years of being dismissed as not even worthy of consideration, the work of black American artists has become essential to the future of American art and to understanding who we are./ This is true even though black artists continue to encounter tremendous resistance within the institutionalized art world, particularly in New York. It is true even though most people who follow, show and buy contemporary art do not have a clue how rich and complex the art of black Americans is./ The reasons for the change go to the heart of the concerns of many black artists, and they go to the heart of this international and historical moment. In a decade when artists feel free to draw from any artistic tradition, in any era, many black artists have been implicitly raising the notion of a world culture in which African, Asian and South American art have as much of a place as the art of Europe and the United States." The article does mention 18 individuals, but the particular artists, named mostly due to their inclusion in recent New York shows, are not as important as the general thesis.

DAVIES, CAROL BOYCE, ed.Encyclopedia of the African Diaspora: Origins, Experiences and Culture.ABC-CLIO, 2008.3 vols. 1110 pp. Marked by a more than usual editorail indifference to the visual arts, entries of erratic quality and less than desirable levels of research or scholarship. Deborah Willis is alotted a bare handful of pages to cover the entirety of African American photography. The essay on African Diaspora Art was allotted 17 pages to cover a period of 35,000 years and makes a courageous attempt to do so. It is not supported by any entries on individual artists, and many of the artists mentioned are not in the index. The entry is also plagued with inexcusable misspellings of numerous artists' names. The essay on Diaspora photography is also beset by the requirement of inappropriate brevity; the author desperately spends most of the allotted space listing the names of a fairly subjective selection of photographers, some with birth dates, others not. Clyde Taylor packs his 2 1/2 page space allotment to cover Diaspora Film with as many names as possible and, understandably, still can find no room for the Black Audio Film Collective or other such experimental filmmakers, Other essays are depressingly vacuous - the essay on the Black Arts Movement, allotted 2 pages, spends only 31 lines on vague remarks about the movement which the reader is led to think is attributable to events that took place in the Nile Valley thousands of years before. What can you say about a book that devotes more space to rap and hip-hop than to Barbados. Not a book worth consulting? 4to (10.3 x 7.3 in.), cloth. DAVIS (CA).

Although it includes a chapter on "Feminist art and Black art," this by no means summarizes the level of inclusion of black artists at every point throughout the text. There are many glaring omissions (John Biggers, Mildred Howard, Lois Mailou Jones, Martin Puryear, Bob Thompson, etc.) and some odd summary comments (for example, Norman Lewis's work is described as "improvisatory environments"), but it's hard to quibble with the first survey of American art to give more than token acknowledgement to the work of African American artists.

ISOARDI, STEVE.The Dark Tree: Jazz and the Community Arts in Los Angeles.Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006.377 pp., b&w illus., appendix, notes, bibliog., index. While he was still in his twenties, Horace Tapscott gave up a successful career in Lionel Hampton's band and returned to his home in Los Angeles to found the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, a community arts group that focused on providing affordable, community-oriented jazz and jazz training. Over the course of almost forty years, the Arkestra, together with the related Union of God's Musicians and Artists Ascension (UGMAA) Foundation, were at the forefront of the vital community-based arts movements in black Los Angeles. Some three hundred artists (musicians, vocalists, poets, playwrights, painters, sculptors, and graphic artists) passed through these organizations, many ultimately remaining within the community and others moving on to achieve international fame. Based primarily on one hundred in-depth interviews with current and former participants, The Dark Tree is the first history of the important and largely overlooked community arts movement of African American Los Angeles. Dozens of interviews were conducted with musicians, but information on visual artists was drawn from the old interviews conducted for the UCLA Oral History Project in the early to mid-90s -- Ben Caldwell, Alonzo Davis, curator Cecil Ferguson, Suzanne Jackson, John Outterbridge, Noah Purifoy, John Riddle, Betye Saar, and Ruth Waddy. The visual arts receive almost no treatment whatsoever in this study. The handful of pages on Noah Purifoy and even less on John Outterbridge are the only substantive mention of the visual arts. Mentioned in passing, for example, is Purifoy's mentorship of artists such as John Riddle, Nathaniel Bustion, Melvin Edwards, David Hammons, and Betye Saar, but without explanation. The Brockman Gallery receives one paragraph; the Lincoln Motion Picture Company (the first black-owned film company) receives one sentence. 8vo (9.2 x 6.3 in.), cloth, d.j., with music CD.
