Description
In Open Contempt confronts the enduring specter of white supremacy in America's art, monuments, and public spaces. With poignant, lyrical prose, cultural commentator Irvin Weathersby Jr. takes us on a journey through sites of lasting racial trauma, from the streets of his childhood to landmarks like the Whitney Plantation and Kara Walker installations. Weathersby challenges the creation myths embedded in America's landmarks and meets artists, curators, and city planners doing the same. Along the way, he contemplates what it means to bear witness to these sites and confronts the inescapable specter of white supremacy in our open spaces.
