Grey Gundaker's No Space Hidden: The Spirit of African American Yard Work has recently been published by the University of Tennessee Press.Co-authored with Judith McWillie, No Space Hidden
analyzes how the artful arrangement of everyday objects and plants in
African American yards expresses both a number of rich and sustaining
cultural traditions as well as the makers' own experiences and
concerns. A remarkable consistency, Gundaker and McWillie argue, is
apparent in the goals of those who create these works: service to God,
justice on earth, and community improvement are chief among their aims.
