James 'Son Ford' Thomas: The Devil and His Blues accompanies the eponymous show at Studio Museum and New York University's 80WSE Gallery, the largest ever devoted to Thomas' work. Thomas (1926-1993)--a self-taught African-American artist and musician who lived in severe poverty for most of his life--created small, often painted clay busts of friends and family and people he met. "When I do my sculpturing work things just roll across my mind. I lay down and dream about the sculpture," he wrote. "That gives you in your head what to do. If you can't hold it in your head, you can't do it in your hand." Nearly 100 of these sculptures are displayed alongside full-bleed installation shots and text contributions by David Serlin, William Ferris, Thomas J. Lax and Kinshasha Holman Conwill, among others.

Turns to 1930s African American literature to offer a critical response to Trauma Theory. This theoretical discourse carries a nostalgia for "European Man" that limits its understanding of racial and class antagonisms. Consequently, its version of "bearing witness" yields a political passivity that cannot address the injustices of racism as they are linked to class conflict. Against the political passivity produced by this idealist approach, this book offers a materialist theory of trauma that develops concepts for identifying the agency that Black life produces amid social breakdown.
