• Resumen

  • Part of a symposium providing a range of critical perspectives on aesthetics, ethnicity, and the history of art. The writer examines how dialogues about identity with regard to race, religion, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality have affected the way she teaches and the questions she must deal with in the classroom. She discusses Winslow Homer's painting Prisoners from the Front, finding that the head of the dark-skinned soldier in the work provides an apt symbol of the struggles engaged in by many scholars over the past 20 years to “put a face on” difference.
