Description: Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2011. 28cm., hardcover, 365pp., 293 illus., most in color. Summary: The Eighteenth Century features a particularly rich collection of images of Africans representing slavery’s apogee and the beginnings of abolition. Old visual tropes of a master with adoring black slave gave way to depictions of Africans as victims and individuals, while at the same time the intellectual foundations of scientific racism were established.
