By focusing on literary representations of racial mixing, it offers an analytical overview of this motif in the Czech context, while emphasising its function as a projection surface for colonial fantasies, aspirations of Europeanness and concerns about the integrity and homogeneity of the 'national body', principally fears of the subaltern position associated with 'blackness'. Attention is paid to translations of French and German literature (e.g. Eugène Sue, Wilhelm Bauberger) from the first half of the nineteenth century, to Czech patriotic productions (Matěj Karas) and especially to representations of modernists and avant-gardists and their critical perspective (e.g. Jaroslav Hašek, Vítězslav Nezval, Vladimír Raffel). Considering a longer period of time allows the author to point out some tendencies characteristic of the Czech cultural context, especially its oscillation between mixophobic and mixophilic approaches.

Its articles examine literary, artistic and scientific representations of race and the Other, analysing the way Central and Eastern European societies have adopted, adapted or subverted colonial ideas. As a whole, the volume offers interdisciplinary insights into how imagery of blackness and colonial fantasies shaped identities in Central and Eastern Europe, revealing the complexities of modernity, colonialism and racial constructs.
