Author: H. Rider Haggard
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 9781551116471
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
First published in 1886–87, H. Rider Haggard’s imperial romance follows its English heroes from the quiet rooms of Cambridge to the uncharted interior of Africa in search of a legendary lost city with an ageless white queen. The two men find their way to the ancient city of Kôr, where the beautiful and mysterious Ayesha, “She-who-must-be-obeyed,” rules. Despite her cruelty, both men become fascinated by Ayesha, who leads them on a harrowing journey to bathe in the underground “River of Life.” A thrilling “history of adventure,” She also reveals the complexity of Victorian attitudes towards race, gender, exploration, and empire. This Broadview edition presents the novel in its original illustrated Graphic magazine version, never before republished, and includes a critical introduction and supporting materials that demonstrate the novel’s relationship to late-Victorian issues such as imperialism, archaeology, race, evolution, and the rise of the “New Woman.”

Book Description
Excerpt from The Races of Men: A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Influence of Race Over the Destinies of Nations The mind of the race, instinctive and reasoning, naturally differs in correspondence with the organization, What Wilda Utopian theories have been advanced - what misstatements, respecting civilization! The most important of margin in intellectual faculties, the surest, the best, e instinctive, namely, - has even been declared to be wanting to human nature What wild and fanciful theories of human progress, of human civilization Look at Europe; at either bank of the Danube; at Northern Africa; at Egypt; at the shores of the Mediterranean, generally, and say what progress civilization has made in these countries since the decline of the Roman Empire. Is Ireland civilized? In Cicero's time the Island of Rhodes presented a civilization which no part of Britain can pretend to what is its state at this moment? But, it may be said, Christianity has done much. This I doubt; but admitting it to be the case, its progress is not evident: to me it seems to lose ground. It presents also a variety of forms essentially distinct: with each race its cha racter is altered; Celtic, Saxon, Sarmatian, express in so many words, the Greek, Roman, Lutheran forms of wor ship. M. Daubigny has expended many words in explaining the rejection of the Reformation by certain nations, its adoption by others; let him look to the map, and he will find that, with a slight exception, if it really be one, the Celtic race universally rejected the Reformation of Luther; the Saxon race as certam adopted it. There need be no mystery in stating so simple a fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Smell of Slavery
Author: Andrew Kettler
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108846599
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
In the Atlantic World, different groups were aromatically classified in opposition to other ethnic, gendered, and class assemblies due to an economic necessity that needed certain bodies to be defined as excremental, which culminated in the creation of a progressive tautology that linked Africa and waste through a conceptual hendiadys born of capitalist licentiousness. The African subject was defined as a scented object, appropriated as filthy to create levels of ownership through discourse that marked African peoples as unable to access spaces of Western modernity. Embodied cultural knowledge was potent enough to alter the biological function of the five senses to create a European olfactory consciousness made to sense the African other as foul. Fascinating, informative, and deeply researched, The Smell of Slavery exposes that concerns with pungency within the Western self were emitted outward upon the freshly dug outhouse of the mass slave grave called the Atlantic World.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller This terrific new book…[explores] the ‘notion of whiteness,’ an idea as dangerous as it is seductive." —Boston Globe Telling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of “whiteness” for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events.
