- Title
BLACK GIRLS IN PARIS Sally Hemings, Sarah Baartman, and French Racial Dystopias.
- Authors
Tillet, Salamishah
- Abstract
An essay on the political differences between the novels "Sally Hemings," and "Hottentot Venus," by Barbara Chase-Riboud, an African-American novelist, is presented. It examines how Chase-Riboud puts forth radically different representations of the French racial landscape in these two novels. It indicates that both of these novels are black feminist revisions of the most controversial images of black women in the early nineteenth-century.
