Child of the Fire: Mary Edmonia Lewis and the Problem of Art History’s Black and Indian Subject

"Child of the Fire" is a tour de force. Kirsten Pai Buick has written a brilliant, historically and culturally grounded investigation into one of the most fascinating people of the nineteenth century. Despite the challenge of a subject as elusive and enigmatic as Mary Edmonia Lewis, Buick brings Lewis’s work back where it belongs: into the fold of nineteenth-century American art, albeit from the vantage point of a knowing, African American, female, expatriate, Catholic iconoclast."–Richard J. Powell, author of "Cutting a Figure: Fashioning Black Portraiture
