It has not always been made explicit by those who study the turnof-the-century image of the male body, for example Maurizia Boscagli and George Mosse, that the body they study belongs to a white man (Boscagli 1996; Mosse 1996; Dabakis 1999). This paper deals with a point where gender and race and representation intersect, the point where black men’s bodies stand; or at least with that point where one black man stood among historical circumstances.
