About the book

Explores the connection between the socioeconomic interests of the Wets Indians and their construction and representation of race in the Niger Mission. By refusing to make Africa their home, for example, they were rejecting the popular notion that race-belonging was a precondition for the socio-political and cultural transformation of Africa - an idea popular among those who believed in the essentialist notion of race.
