As demons, deities or another race entirely? When nineteenth-century white Americans proclaimed their innate superiority, did blacks agree? If not, why not? How did blacks assess the status of the white race? Mia Bay traces African-American perceptions of whites between 1830 and 1925 to depict America's shifting attitudes about race in a period that saw slavery, emancipation, Reconstruction, and urban migration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMuch has been written about how the whites of this time viewed blacks, and about how blacks viewed themselves. By contrast, the ways in which blacks saw whites have remained a historical and intellectual mystery. Reversing the focus of such fundamental studies as George Fredrickson's \u003cem\u003eThe Black Image in the White Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, Bay investigates this mystery. In doing so, she uncovers and elucidates the racial thought of a wide range of nineteenth-century African-Americans--educated and unlettered, male and female, free and enslaved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mia Bay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195132793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195132793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.14w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1999 pg. 663\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1999 pg. 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQbr the Black Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 11","brand":"Mia Bay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981482230015,"sku":"9780195132793","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a0d702f-9033-41f1-b6e7-d746a6335ca3.jpg?v=1683255836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-white-image-in-the-mia-bay-9780195132793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
