This highly original book opens up the almost entirely neglected
area of the black African presence in Western Europe during the
Renaissance. Covering history, literature, art history and
anthropology, it investigates a whole range of black African
experience and representation across Renaissance Europe, from
various types of slavery to black musicians and dancers, from real
and symbolic Africans at court to the views of the Catholic Church,
and from writers of African descent to Black African criminality.
Their findings demonstrate the variety and complexity of black
African life in fifteenth and sixteenth-century Europe, and how it
was affected by firmly held preconceptions relating to the African
continent and its inhabitants, reinforced by Renaissance ideas and
conditions. Of enormous importance both for European and American
history, this book mixes empirical material and theoretical
approaches, and addresses such issues as stereotypes, changing
black African identity, and cultural representation in art and
literature.
