"Deeply researched, well crafted, and engagingly written work. It will long be considered important for broaching issues of central concern to all who study the black past." - -Reviews in American History, "While many scholars have devoted a considerable amount of attention to the image of Black people in Western culture, very few have thought it important to examine the role that images of white people played in the Black cultural imagination. Mia Bay has done just this in this subtle andelegant study, a truly germinal contribution to American historiography." --Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African American Research, Harvard University, "With a title that makes an unveiled reference to George Frederickson's classic The Black Image in the White Mind (1971), this study takes a long overdue look at the other side of the coin....Bay explicitily addresses issues of methodology and sources in this carefully considered, thorough volume....Throughout, she demonstrates that, with a keen eye, a historian may learn much about the opinions of the unlettered. A worthy successor to earlier work on racial ideology, this book fills a major gap in the scholarship."-- Library Journal "[Bay] explores the time-centered context that shaped the images slaves and freedmen formed of white people in the period before and following emancipation....An excellent work that relates the roots of race-centered ideology to their past precedents."-- Booklist "While many scholars have devoted a considerable amount of attention to the image of Black people in Western culture, very few have thought it important to examine the role that images of white people played in the Black cultural imagination.

It is deeply researched, astute in its interpretation, and very readable." --George M. Fredrickson, Stanford University "A meticulous and imaginative reconstruction of compelling chapters in African American cultural and intellectual history.

Synopsis
Historical studies of white racial thought focus exclusively on white ideas about the "Negroes". Bay's study is the first to examine the reverse -- black ideas about whites, and, consequently, black understandings of race and racial categories. Bay examines African-American ideas about white racial character and destiny in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In examining black racial thought, this work also explores the extent to which black Americans accepted or rejected 19th century notions about innate racial characteristics., How did African-American slaves view their white masters? As demons, deities or another race entirely? When nineteenth-century white Americans proclaimed their innate superiority, did blacks agree? If not, why not? How did blacks assess the status of the white race? Mia Bay traces African-American perceptions of whites between 1830 and 1925 to depict America's shifting attitudes about race in a period that saw slavery, emancipation, Reconstruction, and urban migration. Much has been written about how the whites of this time viewed blacks, and about how blacks viewed themselves. By contrast, the ways in which blacks saw whites have remained a historical and intellectual mystery. Reversing the focus of such fundamental studies as George Fredrickson's The Black Image in the White Mind , Bay investigates this mystery. In doing so, she uncovers and elucidates the racial thought of a wide range of nineteenth-century African-Americans--educated and unlettered, male and female, free and enslaved., How did African-American slaves view their white masters?
