Rachel ReeseRezensionen

I don't think the service which the Telfair Museums has rendered the world by creating the Five Decades Retrospective, and which Suzanne Jackson herself has done by living her vision all these years, can be overstated. We're at a tipping point in history where this artist’s visualized insights stand among some of the most valuable tools available for engaging in critical discourses of existential consequence and designing strategies for confronting some of our most urgent social and political challenges.

What Jackson and her editor Rachel Reese have accomplished with this book is extraordinary. In fact, the entire FIVE DECADES project is a major achievement, especially in the current era when women's voices are emerging in many exciting, beautiful, and powerful ways. The book is also a wonderful contribution to ongoing celebrations of the Harlem Renaissance centennial.
