Negrophilia: Avant-Garde Paris and Black Culture in the 1920s (2000) is a book by Petrine Archer-Straw.
Black culture was very much in vogue in avant-garde Paris in the 1920s as white artists celebrated it as a means of escaping bourgeois values. At the same time, an emphasis on the "primitive" often reduced blacks to racist stereotypes.
