Reseña del libro "Blackness Thirteen Ways: Art, Life, & the Revisions of a Mulatta Lesbian (en Inglés)"

The art historian, poet, and novelist close-reads images, moving and still, canonical and lesser known, that have shaped her evolving identity as an American “Mulatta” lesbian born at the end of the Civil Rights movement in this singular blend of life-writing and cultural studies.

The daughter of the WASP mother who raised her and a Black father she has never known, Lyon delivers a candid memoir across thirteen uniquely structured chapters in conversation with enduring, often damaging, “mis/representations” of so-called “race mixing” in fine art and popular media. Reflecting on a lifetime of being dis-read, she examines insidious cultural tropes of “White passing” beginning with art dating to the transatlantic slave trade—from Rembrandt and Rubens, Gentileschi and Stubbs to Manet—before moving on to Br’er Rabbit, Louise Nevelson, 1950s melodrama, and Adrian Piper. Original analysis of a broad range of visual art parallels the unfolding of Lyon’s sense of self as animated by the interiors and geographies—not to mention the remarkable women—that have figured in her life. Through her investigations, she comes to terms with long-withheld information and the seemingly unalterable reality of being an out lesbian who, legally Black, is rarely seen by Whites or other African Americans as she experiences her own personhood.

By turns scholarly and intimate, Blackness Thirteen Ways reveals surprising connections between the art Lyon teaches and the woman she has become, challenging history and culture to accommodate a resolutely unapologetic image of herself and other “impassably” Black women.
