More about the book

In "Vénus Noire," Robin Mitchell analyzes the depiction of black women in postrevolutionary France, revealing how these representations shaped national identity following the Haitian Revolution. Through the stories of Sarah Baartmann, Ourika, and Jeanne Duval, Mitchell explores themes of appropriation, stereotypes, and the enduring racial blind spots in French culture.
