I Am Black/White/Yellow: An Introduction to the Black Body in Europe engages with ways in which knowledge representing the black body, whether through film, ethnography, fashion, history, anthropological study or indeed literature, might be both encountered and countered. This landmark collection
shifts spatially through a range of countries in present-day western Europe to interrogate the widespread assumption that the black body is already known, whether as primitive or neoprimitive, silenced or riotous.

The volume constructs a dialogue that is at once inter-racial as well as international, and which speaks at times consciously from the figuratively ‘black/white/ yellow’ body/bodies highlighted in the title. Collaboratively researched and strongly argued, I Am Black/White/Yellow will interest a wide readership including historians, anthropologists, and scholars working on new literatures, film, feminism, translation studies, cultural
studies and European studies.
