Racial Blackness and the Discontinuity of Western Modernity Paperback / softback
by Lindon Barrett
Edited by Justin A. Joyce, Dwight A. McBride, John Carlos Rowe
Part of the New Black Studies Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The unfinished manuscript of literary and cultural theorist Lindon Barrett, this study offers a genealogy of how the development of racial blackness within the mercantile capitalist system of Euro-American colonial imperialism was constitutive of Western modernity.
Masterfully connecting historical systems of racial slavery to post-Enlightenment modernity, this pathbreaking publication shows how Western modernity depended on a particular conception of racism contested by African American writers and intellectuals from the eighteenth century to the Harlem Renaissance.
