The College Art Association's journal, caa.reviews, has published alumna Katherine Field's (MA in Art History, 2018) review of Earnestine Lovelle Jenkins' Race, Representation & Photography in 19th-Century Memphis: From Slavery to Jim Crow among their most recent book reviews. 

"In the past three decades, there has been a welcome increase in literature on nineteenth- and twentieth-century African American photography," Field begins. "While much pathbreaking scholarship has been produced, art historians have acknowledged only a fraction of black photographers active in the pre–Civil Rights era. Taking the city of Memphis as her case study, Earnestine Lovelle Jenkins contributes a much-needed and richly researched monograph to the history of African American photography."
