Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book's complex picture of black life across Europe makes it an important read not only for Renaissance scholars, but for all scholars of the early Atlantic world...a valuable book...."
- H-Atlantic, Catherine Molineux, Vanderbilt University

"...the quality of the individual contributions is uniformly excellent. Each piece is carefully researched from both manuscript and printed sources, and each is an original contribution to scholarship...the works gathered together in this fine volume are likely to be cited and quoted for some time to come." - The International Journal of African Historical Studies John Thornton Boston University

"This excellent volume is a striking testament to what can be achieved in uncovering the black presence in Western Europe and serves as a stirring inpiration for future work." - Philip Morgan, Princeton University

"the volume offers an array of insights into a subject that has long deserved more attention than it has received." Renaissance Quarterly Liz Horodowich, New Mexico State University

"the collection is valuable for the excellent essays it does provide and especially for the insights into attitudes toward Otherness, especially that racial biasses are the product of one's particular social and political situation, and the discourses that are constructed around them."Mary C. Olson, Tuskagee University, Sixteenth Century Journal
