Review: "A well-researched and highly readable account of the 'development of intellectualized racist theory and ideology' as it evolved from the beginning of the 19th century until the end of World War I...The book is a history of ideas, but also a study of how those ideas were 'espoused and applied by race-conscious intellectuals, pseudointellectuals, publicists, and politicians.' An essencial holding for all undergraduate and graduate libraries."--Library Journal https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Image-White-Mind-Afro-American/dp /0819561886
