Art and the End of Apartheid

Black South African artists have typically had their work labeled African art or township art, qualifiers that, when contrasted with modernist art, have been used to marginalize their work. In Art and the End of Apartheid, John Peffer considers the work of black South African artists in the decades leading up to the end of apartheid in 1994 and shows how they forged connections that modeled a future, more democratic society.
