Book Conversation

In Black Bodies, White Gold, Anna Arabindan-Kesson uses cotton, a commodity central to the slave trade and colonialism, as a focus for new interpretations of the way art, commerce, and colonialism were intertwined in the nineteenth-century Atlantic world. Artist, art-historian, and Anna Kesson’s colleague at Princeton, Chika Okeke-Agulu, joins her for this important conversation; we hope you can too.
