Good, cheap textbook

Is an older edition but is basically the same as the newest edition being used in my African American Art History class. Condition was as described by seller.

A Commendable Documentation of African-American Art

Samella Lewis has updated and further developed her definitive guide on African-American Art. As a former student instructed on the subject with her first edition of this book as our class text, I can definitively say that this book provides a solid understanding of the different art movements and a variety of examples of the works. Also from the perspective of a young museum professional who has worked with African-American art collections, I highly recommend this volume as a foundation of basic knowledge on the subject.
