Constructing Race on the Borders of Europe investigates the visual
imagery of race construction in Scandinavia, Austro Hungary,
Germany, and Russia. It covers a period when historic disciplines
of ethnography and anthropology were expanding and theorists of
race were debating competing conceptions of biological, geographic,
linguistic, and cultural determinants. Beginning in 1850 and
extending into the early 21st century, this book explores how
paintings, photographs, prints, and other artistic media engaged
with these discourses and shaped visual representations of
subordinate ethnic populations and material cultures in countries
associated with theorizations of white identity. The chapters
contribute to postcolonial research by documenting the
colonial-style treatment of minority groups, by exploring the
anomalies and complexities that emerge when binary systems are seen
from the perspective of the fine and applied arts, and by
representing the voices of those who produced images or objects
that adopted, altered, or critiqued ethnographic and
anthropological information. In doing so, Constructing Race on the
Borders of Europe uncovers instances of unexpected connections,
establishes the fabricated nature of ethnic identity, and
challenges the certainties of racial categorization.
