In Cameroon, a monumental statue of liberty is made from scrap metal. In Congo, a thriving popular music incorporates piercing screams and carnal dances. When these and other instantiations of the aesthetics of Africa and its diasporas are taken into account, how are ideas of beauty reconfigured? Scholars and artists take up that question in this invigorating, lavishly illustrated collection, which includes more than one hundred color images. Exploring sculpture, music, fiction, food, photography, fashion, and urban design, the contributors engage with and depart from canonical aesthetic theories as they demonstrate that beauty cannot be understood apart from ugliness. They show how theories of aesthetics are enriched by attention to anti-aesthetics. And, by suggesting that beaty is in some sense future-oriented, the essayists propose that taking beauty in Africa and its diasporas seriously is a way of rekindling hope in the midst of hardship.
