The book explores the evolving perceptions of beauty and race, highlighting how historical views have shifted from seeing discipline as beautiful to valuing raw nature. It examines the modernist perspective that often categorizes African Americans as embodying a more natural and morally avant-garde essence, contrasting with Western ideals. Through an analysis of arts and politics, the volume illustrates the transformation in societal definitions of beauty and its implications for racial identity.
