Here, I have long been interested in what art, architecture, and popular culture reveal about human experiences of urban space, and how such things change over time. As I looked closely, I realized that this group is also relevant to my nascent research on the city of Dakar, Senegal. Art and time, art and space, art and information, and art and cities are all concerns raised in this book. At first I thought these 17 books illustrated the issues that have animated the research and writing of my project on mapping and a small group of African and Afro-Atlantic artists. It’s funny how picking (curating?) some books and taking a photograph of them with a cute piece of CB2 kitsch allows for a long view of one’s trajectory.
