Amongst other things, this book is a devastating critique of Thomas
Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia, in which he mused about
black inferiority. Its publication in 1810, after Jefferson's
opposition to its appearance, was a major event for African
Americans.
Gregoire was an early nineteenth century French Roman Catholic
bishop who turned his attention to the place of African Americans
in Catholic and Euro-American thought. His work is, among other
things, a devastating critique of Thomas Jefferson's Notes on the
State of Virginia, in which the third president muses about black
inferiority. Gregoire's views made an American edition difficult,
as Jefferson opposed the book's appearance. An Enquiry is one of
the few of Gregoire's thirty-plus books to be translated into
English, and its publication in Brooklyn in 1810 was an event for
African Americans. In this new edition, Graham Hodges presents a
pristine reproduction of the original text in modern font, and
offers a critical introduction to Gregoire, Franco-American
abolitionism, and the influence of this important work on the
development of the African American intellectual tradition.
