Jones traces the history of the idea of Africa to recover a belief in "Brightest Africa"--a tradition that runs through American cultural and intellectual history with equal force to its "Dark Continent" counterpart. She illuminates the optimism about Africa underlying these concerns and the racist interests these agents often served.
