Seeing Race Before Race – Visual Culture and the Racial Matrix in the Premodern World (Hardcover)

Explores the deployment of racial thinking and racial formations in
the visual culture of the pre-modern world. The capacious
visual archive studied in this volume includes a trove of materials
such as annotated or illuminated manuscripts, Renaissance costume
books and travel books, maps and cartographic volumes produced by
Europeans as well as Indigenous peoples, mass-printed pamphlets,
jewelry, decorative arts, religious iconography, paintings from
around the world, ceremonial objects, festival books, and play
texts intended for live performance. Contributors explore the
deployment of what coeditor Noémie Ndiaye calls “the racial
matrix” and its interconnected paradigms across the medieval and
early modern chronological divide and across vast transnational and
multilingual geographies. This volume uses items from the Fall 2023
exhibition “Seeing Race Before Race”—a collaboration between
RaceB4Race and the Newberry Library—as a starting point for an
ambitious theoretical conversation between premodern race studies,
art history, performance studies, book history, and critical race
theory.
