"Betty LaDuke's Africa Through the Eyes of Women Artists unusual portraits of twelve artists from Africa and the Diaspora, makes a significant contribution to women's studies, African diaspora studies, and art history and cultural history. This collection of essays. which results from sensitive interviews conducted by LaDuke with women of African descent throughout the diaspora provides extraordinary insight into the nature of creative expression among a group of women too long ignored by scholars. LaDuke's pioneering and courageous effort to make visible in this way such a diverse group of talented women deserves our applause."
