Patricia Hills breaks open the hidden truth about how art museums long promoted a racist, elitist and patriarchal view of America. As an art curator and historian, she wrote & lectured about the ways in which the art world rationalized racial oppression, exploitation of working-class people, and deep gender bias.
When the art establishment opposed her contrarian views, Hills took a stand against privilege and the patriarchy, racist attitudes, and gender bias. She has probed cultural and political minefields through her writing about artists, writers, critics, museum curators, and trends in art history scholarship—a must read for understanding the American art world.
