Hope Brooks: Five Decades of the Artist’s Work… takes us into the world of a singular artist, part of that second-generation of Jamaicans who helped to bestow shape and substance to a still fledgling, although often endangered, movement in the visual culture of an island.

– Courtney A. Hogarth, Ph.D., / artist, poet, and scholar
