David Bindman looks at race in general, but with particular concentration on attitudes toward and representations of people of African and Jewish descent. He argues that behind all racial ideas of the period lies the belief that outward appearance--and especially skull shape, as studied in the pseudoscience of phrenology--can be correlated with inner character and intelligence, and that these could be used to create a seemingly scientific hierarchy of races. The book considers many aspects of these beliefs, including the skull as a racial marker; ancient Egypt as a precedent for Southern slavery; Darwin, race, and aesthetics; the purported "Mediterranean race"; the visual aspects of eugenics; and the racial politics of Emil Nolde." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Art and race $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Art and race $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Race in art $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Race in art $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Art and race. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815423 650 7 $a Race in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904405 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Gates, Henry Louis, $c Jr., $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023242.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F99C9CCA56B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
