This book explores several critical connections between Black African objects and white Western aesthetics and artwork in the United States from the late 1800s until 1939.

This book will explore several critical connections between Black African objects and white Western aesthetics and artwork in the United States from the late 1800s until 1939. Drawing from primary source materials and various scholarship in the field (philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology, museum studied, art history, cultural studies), the book provides an analysis of the threads of white supremacy which run through early scholarship and understandings of Black African object within the United States and how scholars use the objects to reinforce narratives of “primitive” Black Africa and civilized, advanced white Europe and the United States.

The author is an independent interdisciplinary scholar of philosophy, race, history, sociology, and culture.
