How art played a central role in the design of America's racial enterprise-and how contemporary artists resist it. � Art has long played a key role in constructing how people understand and imagine America. Starting with contemporary controversies over public monuments in the United States, Rebecca Zorach carefully examines the place of art in the occupation of land and the upholding of White power in the US, arguing that it has been central to the design of America's racial enterprise. Confronting closely held assumptions of art history, Zorach looks to the intersections of art, nature, race, and place, working through a series of symbolic spaces-the museum, the wild, islands, gardens, home, and walls and borders-to open and extend conversations on the political implications of art and design. � Against the backdrop of central moments in American art, from the founding of early museums to the ascendancy of abstract expressionism, Zorach shows how contemporary artists-including Dawoud Bey, Theaster Gates, Maria Gaspar, Kerry James Marshall, Alan Michelson, Dylan Miner, Postcommodity, Cauleen Smith, and Amanda Williams-have mined the relationship between environment and social justice, creating works that investigate and interrupt White supremacist, carceral, and environmentally toxic worlds. The book also draws on poetry, creative nonfiction, hip-hop videos, and Disney films to illuminate crucial topics in art history, from the racial politics of abstraction to the origins of museums and the formation of canons. �

Almost Perfect
Color: Graphite, Pattern Name: Mouse
If you are looking for a quiet mouse, this is it. I was skeptical about the "ergonomics" but find that it is much more comfortable for me than the more traditional design for left and right clicking. Simple moving seems fine but its weight is a bit excessive for lifting for repositioning in tight spaces. It is difficult to lift without activating the button on the haptic pad, even set to require firm pressure. A bit more contour on the right would solve this nicely to allow lifting the mouse without repositioning your hand. The forward and back buttons may be a bit awkward for some people. I'm slowly adjusting. Actually, each mouse I've owned needed a bit of getting used to. Side scrolling doesn't always work as it seems it would. Frequently, it scrolls vertically like the "normal" scroll wheel depending on the program. Haptic feedback is not a commonly used feature yet, however, Windows will be slowly adding haptic features to later updates from what I've read. I keep the setting on the lowest haptic feedback level and for what it functions on so far seems natural and not intrusive. There are many adjustments and customizations, too many to go into since I haven't played around with most. So far, even with what may seem like a lot of negative thoughts, I love this mouse. It would be five stars if lifting to repositioning in tight spaces was easier.

Dependable, Reliable

As advertised. Logitech, best mouse for your hard-earned cheddar! It’s not that the (years) old Logitech mouse failed in any operational way, it just got that gummy, sticky surface texture that’s impossible to remove. While shopping for a replacement I noticed an off-brand mouse/keyboard combo and thought, “hey, 2 for 1”…mistake. All was well for about three weeks, long enough that when the gremlins arrived I didn’t immediately associate the new hardware. For the purposes of this discussion, gentle reader, know that I run legacy (what I affectionately refer to as, “Lazarus”) builds. Rigs that started life running Windows Vista/7, died, and that now, resurrected, run 10 and 11, and all that that implies. So, when a mouse started stuttering, of course I thought it was a gremlin in the machine, right? I spent more days than I am comfortable sharing with you pouring over processes and background apps, and registry trims…before Accam’s Razor suggested I eliminate the mouse as a variable. Changing the battery was ineffective, but when I swapped in the ooold Logitech…Yahtzee/Bingo/Booyah…smooth and precise…butter! All I needed was a new Logitech mouse. So, if you’re here you likely are having mouse issues of your own, or you just need one that works…this is it! 😉

Hey, it works well. Just plug it in and you are ready to go. Only issue, minor, no light or color coding on back to indicate on or off.

Smooth and ergo nice mouse.
Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver, Color: Swift Grey
I needed this little thing quickly and got it within 2 hours of ordering. It was only an extra five bucks to get it now. Would have burned more than that in fuel. Works exactly as I would have expected. Perfect.

Simple and efficient

This is a dandy little item. Easy to use straight out of the box, No fancy bells and whistles.but why should a mouse try to replicate commands that are on the laptop?
