Medicalizing Blackness
Author: Rana A. HogarthPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469632888

Pages : 291
Book Description
In 1748, as yellow fever raged in Charleston, South Carolina, doctor John Lining remarked, "There is something very singular in the constitution of the Negroes, which renders them not liable to this fever." Lining's comments presaged ideas about blackness that would endure in medical discourses and beyond. In this fascinating medical history, Rana A. Hogarth examines the creation and circulation of medical ideas about blackness in the Atlantic World during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. She shows how white physicians deployed blackness as a medically significant marker of difference and used medical knowledge to improve plantation labor efficiency, safeguard colonial and civic interests, and enhance control over black bodies during the era of slavery. Hogarth refigures Atlantic slave societies as medical frontiers of knowledge production on the topic of racial difference. Rather than looking to their counterparts in Europe who collected and dissected bodies to gain knowledge about race, white physicians in Atlantic slaveholding regions created and tested ideas about race based on the contexts in which they lived and practiced. What emerges in sharp relief is the ways in which blackness was reified in medical discourses and used to perpetuate notions of white supremacy.

Pages : 298
Book Description
When Kitty falls to her death in one of Covent Garden’s seedier tenements at the end of 1735, it’s seen as an unfortunate accident. But the memory haunts the nightmares of Kitty’s neighbour, Jeremiah Potts. Jeremiah scrapes his own poor living by running errands for local artists, the most famous being William Hogarth – seemingly unstoppable since the success of his Harlot’s Progress. Hogarth has started work on a new painting that shows a woman walking across Covent Garden Piazza. The image raises immediate questions for the artist’s wife, Jane – but also appears to hark back to something in her husband’s past. A similar, half-forgotten history torments another local resident, Prudence Hyssop, who is determined that the New Year of 1736 should signal a fresh start. Meanwhile, gentleman-painter Jonathan Smallow has one thing only in mind. Murder. In a fast-moving tale of lost innocence, thwarted ambition, artistic skulduggery, and blind passion, the lives of Jeremiah, Prudence, Smallow, and the Hogarths are thrown together in new and unforeseen ways. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Covent Garden, Mr Hogarth’s Morning paints a compelling picture that blends dark desires with colourful comedy to create a totally new and unforgettable view of eighteenth-century London.
