Not your grandfather’s art history: a BIPOC Reader
“Not your grandfather’s art history” is a digital reader of art history essays authored largely by scholars who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). This project has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (www.neh.gov): Democracy demands wisdom.
