"The Art and History of Black Memorabilia, by Larry Vincent Buster, is the first fully illustrated overview of this remarkable area of Americana. With more than two hundred color photographs, this volume examines the most desirable collectibles and places them within their historical and social contexts. The author, himself a noted collector, includes information on how to buy, display, and preserve black memorabilia and explains how to spot fakes and reproductions. Also included are explorations of some of the most well-known and influential African-American figures in popular culture." "At times horrifying yet sublime, insulting yet intriguing, heartbreaking, and inspiring, The Art and History of Black Memorabilia is a landmark chronicle of the black experience in America."--BOOK JACKET.
