Emphasizing the importance of African American migration, as well as L.A.'s housing and employment politics, Jones shows how the work of black Angeleno artists such as Betye Saar, Charles White, Noah Purifoy, and Senga Nengudi spoke to the dislocation of migration, L.A.'s urban renewal, and restrictions on black mobility. Jones characterizes their works as modern migration narratives that look to the past to consider real and imagined futures. She also attends to these artists' relationships with gallery and museum culture and the establishment of black-owned arts spaces. With \u003ci\u003eSouth of Pico\u003c\/i\u003e, Jones expands the understanding of the histories of black arts and creativity in Los Angeles and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822361640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kellie Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334149308597,"sku":"9780822361640","price":26.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_062384b2-696d-44cc-8fbd-5785a11f0450.jpg?v=1752583936","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/south-of-pico-african-american-artists-in-los-angeles-in-the-1960s-and-1970s-9780822361640","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
