Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness
Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness is a collection of
story quilts and poetry which are distinctly African American in content,
addressing the thin line drawn between stereotypes and truths. Both the
writings and the visuals lend themselves towards social commentary,
deliberately falling short in being hardcore political, the work lightly and
deceptively skims the surface of personal politics, focusing on the mainstreams
of modern "colored" life with humor and sarcasm.
