In the decades between the Berlin Conference that partitioned Africa and
the opening of the African Hall at the American Museum of Natural History,
Americans in several fields and from many backgrounds argued that Africa had
something to teach them. Jeannette Eileen Jones traces the history of the idea of
Africa with an eye to recovering the emergence of a belief in “Brightest Africa”—
a tradition that runs through American cultural and intellectual history with equal
force to its “Dark Continent counterpart.
The book contributes to a growing literature on the ongoing role of global
exchange in shaping the African American experience as well as debates about the
cultural place of Africa in American thought.
