Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In the 1960s, art patron Dominique de Menil founded an image
archive showing the ways that people of African descent have been
represented in Western art. Highlights from her collection appeared
in three large-format volumes that quickly became collector s
items. A half-century later, Harvard University Press and the Du
Bois Institute are proud to publish a complete set of ten sumptuous
books, including new editions of the original volumes and two
additional ones.
"Europe and the World Beyond" focuses geographically on peoples
of South America and the Mediterranean as well as Africa but
conceptually it emphasizes the many ways that visual constructions
of blacks mediated between Europe and a faraway African continent
that was impinging ever more closely on daily life, especially in
cities and ports engaged in slave trade.
"The Eighteenth Century "features a particularly rich
collection of images of Africans representing slavery s apogee and
the beginnings of abolition. Old visual tropes of a master with
adoring black slave gave way to depictions of Africans as victims
and individuals, while at the same time the intellectual
foundations of scientific racism were established.
This illustrated gift title is for expectant parents or frazzled
new parents who might need a little support during their first year
of parenthood. Featuring Helene the Illustrator's honest
illustrations, each chapter looks at the different aspects of life
with a new baby, from the first days of the newborn bubble through
to the unbelievable milestone of their first birthday. Helene began
illustrating her experiences of motherhood after the birth of her
daughter. She found herself frequently scrolling through Instagram
and finding she couldn't relate to the picture-perfect mothers who
littered her feed. She started sharing her art and was stunned by
the response she received, from new parents who felt just like she
did. Helene's supportive, honest, empowering (and sometimes sweary)
account of life with a new child unites parents from around the
globe. While all parents, babies and births are different many of
the emotions of new parenthood are universal. We are not alone,
we're all in the same club and we've all got to do what we've got
to do. We're all just making it up as we go along, hoping for the
best! In The Club is the hug, hot cup of tea - or massive glass of
wine - that new parents who feel overwhelmed and under-qualified
need.
