From the Back Cover
White on Black is a compelling illustrated history of the development of European and American stereotypes of black people over the last two hundred years. Reproducing a wide range of intriguing images-- from engravings and lithographs to advertisements, candy wrappings, biscuit tins, dolls, posters, and comic strips--the book raises crucial but troubling questions about caricature and parody as instruments of oppression.
