    Through close examinations of Walker’s controversial silhouettes’ insubordinate reply to pictorial tradition, Wilson’s and Julien’s distinct approaches to institutional critique, Ligon’s text paintings’ struggle with modernisms, and Pope.L’s vexing performance interventions, English grounds his contention that to understand this work is to displace race from its central location in our interpretation and to grant right of way to the work’s historical, cultural, and aesthetic specificity.
