This special issue of Visual Resources examines images of Africans and African Americans produced between 1820 and 1914 in the context of politics, popular culture and scientific studies of this period. The mechanisms of racial identification and classification receive particular attention, as does the constructed and performative nature of blackness, and race more generally. This issue contributes to the growing literature on American and European depictions of blacks by providing compelling case studies from the long nineteenth century, and underscores the fact that the visualization and conceptualization of race and ethnicity are inexorably intertwined.
