This is an exploration of the sociology of the body, looking at how the African body has been analyzed in western thought from the Renaissance to the present. Using Foucaultian theory, the author examines European social and medical constructions of the African body and shows how, in the service of white power, these have been perverse. Drawing on his own original research on public health issues under South Africa's apartheid system, the author applies his experience to a wider post-colonial context, and in so doing provides a radical contribution to interpretative science and the history of racism.
