Finding their voice: Identifying signifiers of women's agency and empowerment in the work of Haitian women artists
- Date Issued:
- 1999
- Summary:
- Although the work of women artists has been widely discussed within feminist scholarship from a Euro-American perspective, there is currently little published discourse on the visual art produced by Third-World women within the context of postcolonial and Black feminist theories. This study explores the hypothesis that using the lens of postcolonial and Black feminist theories to examine the work of women artists situated in a Third World environment may identify signifiers of women's agency and empowerment.
