Paula J. Birnbaum, “Alice Halicka’s Self-Effacement,” in Diaspora and Modern Visual Culture:  Representing Africans and Jews, ed. Nicholas Mirzoeff (London:  Routledge, 2000), 207-223.

​

This is the first book to examine the connections between diaspora - the movement, whether forced or voluntary, of a nation or group of people from one homeland to another - and its representations in visual culture. Two foundational articles by Stuart Hall and the painter R.B. Kitaj provide points of departure for an exploration of the meanings of diaspora for cultural identity and artistic practice.
