L'Anatomie de la noirceur: Science et esclavage à l'âge des Lumières (L'Europe Des Lumieres) (French Edition)

This book, "The Anatomy of Blackness," is a groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between scholarly ideas, commercial profit, and violence inflicted on black Africans in the colonies during the 18th century.

Through a detailed analysis of travel narratives, natural history, philosophical texts, and pro- and anti-slavery texts, the author reveals how the study of anatomy became a serious subject of study, with the black body being analyzed, disected, and theorized about in increasingly sophisticated ways.

The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the links between scientific progress, commercial interests, and violence against black bodies in the colonies.

With its interdisciplinary approach and engaging writing style, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of science, race, and colonialism.
