Abstract

Anita Frison’s open access book Africa in Russian Imperial Culture: Race, Empire, and Representation (1850–1917) unmasks how pre-Soviet Russia produced exotifying portrayals of Sub-Saharan Africa while distinguishing itself as a benevolent actor in contrast to its colonial counterparts in the West.
