Examines the Enlightenment-era textualization of the Black African in European thought. This title rewrites the history of blackness by replicating the practices of eighteenth-century readers. It shows how naturalists and philosophies drew from travel literature to discuss the perceived problem of human blackness within the nascent human sciences.
