Bryn Mawr College

In this talk, Andrew Curran will speak about his new book, The Anatomy of Blackness: Science and Slavery in an Age of Enlightenment (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011). In particular, Curran will address one of the most vexing problems for scholars and students interested in this era: when and why did the Enlightenment's understanding of non-Europeans evolve  from a vague nexus of xenophobic  beliefs into the  zoological construct known as race.


Co-sponsored by the 1902 Lecture Fund, the Department of Anthropology, the Africana Studies Program, and the Department of French & Francophone Studies at Haverford College
