Beschreibungen
<span><span>This book rethinks the history of colonisation by focusing on the formation of the European aesthetic ideas of </span><span>indigeneity </span><span>and </span><span>blackness </span><span>in the Caribbean, and how these ideas were deployed as markers of biopolitical governance. Using Foucault’s philosophical archaeology as method, this work argues that the European formation of </span><span>indigeneity </span><span>and </span><span>blackness </span><span>was based on aesthetically casting Aboriginal and African peoples in the Caribbean as </span><span>monsters</span><span> yet with a similar degree of Western civilisation and ‘culture’. By focusing on the aesthetics of the first racial imageries that produced </span><span>indigeneity </span><span>and</span><span> blackness </span><span>this work takes a radical departure from the current Social Darwinian theorisations of race and racism. It reveals a new connection between the global origins of colonisation and local post-Enlightenment histories.</span></span>
