Opis

In their rebellion against Western civilization, the European surrealists contested their own society, of which, black surrealists were subjected to even harsher and shared the same dreadful racial memory of the slave ship. Black surrealists would strive to completely eradicate this hostile society by means of art, words, and metaphors.
