Summary:

The definition of a new African artist is as broad and diverse as the continent itself, and the stories these artists tell are at once uplifting and devastating, as are their nations' histories. This book focuses on the impact of the environment on contemporary African life and the use of found objects and appropriated materials in current African art.
