Selected texts that survey the full range of Kara Walker’s artistic practice, emphasizing the work itself rather than the debates and controversies around it.

Kara Walker’s work and its borrowings from an iconography linked to the fantasized and travestied history of American chattel slavery has been theorized and critiqued in countless texts throughout her career. Exegeses of her work have been shaped by the numerous debates on the very debates it generated. How, then, do we approach a work that has been covered by such “thick theoretical layers”? This collection is unique in emphasizing Walker’s work itself rather than the controversies surrounding it. These essays and interviews survey Walker’s artistic practice from her early works in the 1990s through her most recent ones, from her famous silhouette projects to her lesser-known drawings and lantern shows.
 
The texts, by art historians, curators, critics, scholars, and writers engage scrupulously with Walker’s pieces as material works of art, putting them in the context of the sociopolitical and cultural environments that shape—but never determine—them. They include an interview of the artist by Thelma Golden of the Studio Museum in Harlem; an essay in the form of a lexicon, cataloguing key elements in Walker’s art, by curator Yasmil Raymond; and an essay by volume editor Vanina Géré on Walker’s use of historical archives. Finally, novelist Zadie Smith considers Walker’s public art as counter-propositions to colonial monuments and as a reflection on colonial history.

More durable than expected.
Size: 5 Inch, Color: Raccoon
I was walking through my front room the other day when I noticed a suspicious spot on the floor. It looked like something I should not touch without gloves. As I got closer, I realized what it was. It’s the ‘guts’ from this toy. My dogs (Pit Bull and German Shorthaired Pointer) were each given one. Both are aggressive chewers with their toys. They ATE the faces off these toys and now play with the felt interior. I’m still trying to figure out how they ate through leather while the felt remained intact. Regardless, they still play with them. Now they are basically semi-fuzzy throw toys we can throw in the house because they don’t leave marks on the wall if our aim is off. Sometimes things work out the way they should. :)

Great with supervision
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Bone
My dogs LOVE these, but removing a star because these apparently are VERY delicious and they will ingest what they rip off if I don’t supervise; also removing a star for how quick they’re able to tear these up. These are like catnip for dogs, I’ll still buy them!

Don't waste your money!!
Size: 5 Inch, Color: Fox
With in minutes my puppy was pulling on the middle fiber stuff. I was worried he would choke/ingest it so I immediately threw it away just like the money I apparently threw away on this unsafe and misleading chew toy.

Great for a teething puppy
Size: Small, Color: Pink
This is one of the best training collars we have used. So good that we ordered a second one so each dog has one and we have recommended it to several other people. It has 3 options, beeping, vibration and shock. Each option has several different settings. The collar comes in many different colors. It is very sturdy and it is waterproof. It is adjustable and the clip is very sturdy. I had previously bought a different training collar that did not phase my dog in the slightest and was a complete waste of money. It always seemed to be low on battery even after charging, this one however lasts like a week after charging. I will continue to use this brand for sure
