Drawing together Black feminist theory, critical theories of ecology and ecoaesthetics, and Black aesthetics, Cervenak shows how novelists, poets, and visual artists such as Gayl Jones, Toni Morrison, Clementine Hunter, Samiya Bashir, and Leonardo Drew advance an ecological imagination that unsettles Western philosophical ideas of the earth as given to humans. In their aestheticization and conceptualization of gathering, these artists investigate the relationships among art, the environment, home, and forms of Black togetherness. Cervenak argues that by offering a formal and conceptual praxis of gathering, Black artists imagine liberation and alternative ways of being in the world that exist beyond those Enlightenment philosophies that presume Black people and earth as given to enclosure and ownership.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/strong\u003eSarah Jane Cervenak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDuke University Press Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEnglish\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e9781478014478\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e5.24 x 1.52 x 22.61 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShop more from\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.mostyn.org\/collections\/wiley\" title=\"Shop more from Wiley for sale online at Mostyn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWiley\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58222111129974,"sku":"9781478014478","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/9028\/1911\/files\/Untitled-July04_2026at14.34.23_35.webp?v=1784543245","url":"https:\/\/shop.mostyn.org\/products\/black-gathering-art-ecology-ungiven-life-by-sarah-jane-cervenak","provider":"MOSTYN ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
