Invisibility Blues

“One of the most talented and provocative cultural critics now writing in the USA. Listen and learn!”
—Cornel West

“Michele Wallace keeps her eyes open and her wits about her. Scrupulously fair, honest, funny, clever, wise.”
—Angela Carter

“Invisibility Blues shows why Michele Wallace has long been at the forefront of African-American cultural criticism.”
—Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

“Invisibility Blues is a warm book, even a hopeful one. Simultaneously confident and vulnerable, full of hard-earned insights into American culture and un-starry-eyed evaluations of the available role models, it is the unfinished saga of a proud outsider trying to make a place for herself and her sisters.”
—Lucy R. Lippard

“Courageous … outspoken … clear-eyed.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Wonderful … original.”
—Susan Brown Miller
