Venus Noire: Black Women and Colonial Fantasies in Nineteenth-Century France

Venus Noire: Black Women and Colonial Fantasies in Nineteenth-Century France Even though there were relatively few people of colour in postrevolutionary France, images of and discussions about black women appeared regularly in a variety of French cultural sectors and social milieus. Robin Mitchell shows how these literary and visual depictions of black women helped to shape the countrys postrevolutionary national identity.
