"Tracing a dynamic genealogy of performance from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first, McMillan contends that black women artists practiced a purposeful self-objectification, transforming themselves into art objects. In doing so, these artists raised new ways to ponder the intersections of art, performance, and black female embodiment."
