This book rethinks the history of colonisation by focusing on the
formation of the European aesthetic ideas of indigeneity and
blackness in the Caribbean, and how these ideas were deployed as
markers of biopolitical governance. Using Foucault's philosophical
archaeology as method, this work argues that the European formation
of indigeneity and blackness was based on aesthetically casting
Aboriginal and African peoples in the Caribbean as monsters yet
with a similar degree of Western civilisation and 'culture'. By
focusing on the aesthetics of the first racial imageries that
produced indigeneity and blackness this work takes a radical
departure from the current Social Darwinian theorisations of race
and racism. It reveals a new connection between the global origins
of colonisation and local post-Enlightenment histories.
