Piscinae. Artificial Fishponds in Roman Italy. - HIGGINBOTHAM, J.,
Artificial Fishponds in Roman Italy (Studies in the History of Greece and Rome Series)
KORTE INHOUD
In reassessing the image of the damaged black psyche from 1880 to 1996, Scott argues that damage imagery has been the product of both liberals and conservatives, racists and antiracists. While racial conservatives, often playing on white contempt for blacks, have sought to use findings of black pathology to justify exclusionary policies, racial liberals have used damage imagery primarily to promote policies of inclusion and rehabilitation. Scott challenges long-held beliefs about the history of damage imagery, warning the Left of the dangers in their rediscovery of damage imagery in an age of conservative reform.
