WORK HISTORY
Series Editor Critical Ethnic Studies and Visual Culture @University Of Washington Press
Seattle, WA, US
This new book series from the University of Washington Press engages insights from critical ethnic studies and visual culture, and encourages innovative interdisciplinary antiracist work that challenges and transforms our understandings of race, ethnicity, and the visual. With new interdisciplinary programs and increasing attention at national and international conferences, these fields are growing, involving scholars, students, archivists, activists and artists nationally and globally. Focusing on art, new media, art history, visual anthropology, visual culture, craft, fashion, and other forms of cultural expression, the series brings together works that engage decolonization and social justice with an interdisciplinary and intersectional emphasis on race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, disability, and gender. The series will include books that center visual arts and media by, for, and about people of color, and themes engaged will include anti-capitalism, reparations, abolition, sovereignty, and the afterlife of slavery. Books will also feature critical work on white supremacy, settler colonialism, land dispassion, resource extraction, and cultural appropriation. Aligned with the dynamic character of critical ethnic studies, new work may also engage themes of borders, migration, diasporas, and transnational work, and the relationship of the visual to these movements. Books will highlight the work of artist-activists and the role of the arts in social justice movements. The series welcomes books that bring together the work of artists with critical work about artistic practice. We especially encourage single-authored books including monographs and accessibly written books that cross disciplines and reach out to wider audiences, including artists, students, and other readers interested in visual topics. We will also consider well-crafted and innovative anthologies and edited volumes.
