Souls Grown Deep, Vol. 1: African American Vernacular Art. From Library Journal: “This massive volume provides an exhaustively detailed examination of the work of Southern African American folk/outsider artists active in the decades following World War II.… Through numerous introductory essays and artist biographies, leading scholars in this field emphasize several major themes, including the African cultural qualities to be found in the artwork and how artists expressed ideas and emotions current in the struggle for civil rights. Over 800 mostly color illustrations… (T)his will long be the definitive work on this subject, it is highly recommended.” (Eugene C.
