The journal offers readers peer-reviewed scholarly articles concerning a striking range of art forms and visual cultures of the world’s second largest continent and its diasporas, as well as special thematic issues, book and exhibition reviews, features on museum collections, exhibition previews, artist portfolios, photo essays, edgy dialogues, and editorials.Contents of Issue 47:2 (Summer 2014):first wordRingside at the RevolutionLeslie Ellen JonesarticlesThe Art of Almighty GodIn His Own WordsDoran H.
