Evolution

There are a vast array of sources available online and via documentary film and other sources on theories of evolution, much of it celebrating Charles Darwin as the father of the theory. Not only are these ideas key to our current understanding of human biology and the genome project but they often mobilize a fascinating series of visual techniques from photography and film to scientific illustration and the newer techniques in animation.

I am a writer and a professor of English at the City College of New York, and the CUNY Graduate Center. My books include Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman (1979), Invisibility Blues (1990), Black Popular Culture (1992), and Dark Designs and Visual Culture (2005). I write cultural criticism frequently and am currently working on a project on creativity and feminism among the women in my family, some of which is posted on the Soul Pictures blog.
