Blackness and Modernity: The Colour of Humanity and the Quest for Freedom

by Cecil Foster

Foster presents an interdisciplinary analysis of blackness by challenging existing notions of blackness and arguing for the viability of a multicultural world. He traces the philosophical, anthropological, sociological, and mythological arguments that support views of modernity as a failed quest for whiteness.
