The Politicization of Race -- Epilogue: Theorizing Race and Racism in the Eighteenth Century -- Notes -- Index -- AcknowledgmentsIn the 1723 Journal of a Voyage up the Gambia, an English narrator describes the native translators vital to the expedition's success as being "Black as Coal." Such a description of dark skin color was not unusual for eighteenth-century Britons-but neither was the statement that followed: "here, thro' Custom, (being Christians) they account themselves White Men." The Complexion of Race asks how such categories would have been possible, when and how such statements came to seem illogical, and how our understanding of the eighteenth century has been distorted by the imposition of nineteenth and twentieth century notions of race on an earlier period.Wheeler traces the emergence of skin color as a predominant marker of identity in British thought and juxtaposes the Enlightenment's scientific speculation on the biology of race with accounts in travel literature, fiction, and other documents that remain grounded in different models of human variety. As a consequence of a burgeoning empire in the second half of the eighteenth century, English writers were increasingly preoccupied with differentiating the British nation from its imperial outposts by naming traits that set off the rulers from the ruled; although race was one of these traits, it was by no means the distinguishing one. In the fiction of the time, non-European characters could still be "redeemed" by baptism or conversion and the British nation could embrace its mixed-race progeny. In Wheeler's eighteenth century we see the coexistence of two systems of racialization and to detect a moment when an older order, based on the division between Christian and heathen, gives way to a new one based on the assertion of difference between black and white.SOCIAL SCIENCEbisacSociology / GeneralbisacRace awarenessHistory18th centuryGreat BritainEnglish fictionHistory and criticism18th centuryDifference (Psychology)History18th centuryRace in literatureRegions & Countries - EuropeHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCGreat BritainHILCCSOCIAL SCIENCESociology / GeneralRace awarenessHistoryEnglish fictionHistory and criticismDifference (Psychology)HistoryRace in literatureRegions & Countries - EuropeHistory & ArchaeologyGreat Britain305.8/00941/09033Wheeler Roxann, 1028260DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910457369003321The Complexion of Race2444206UNINA02666nam 2200589Ia 450 991078471850332120230422045106.00-19-774088-X1-280-52761-70-19-535789-21-4294-0369-1(CKB)1000000000406006(EBL)273180(OCoLC)476015107(SSID)ssj0000235692(PQKBManifestationID)11176163(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000235692(PQKBWorkID)10163632(PQKB)10864138(Au-PeEL)EBL273180(CaPaEBR)ebr10269146(CaONFJC)MIL52761(OCoLC)71794277(MiAaPQ)EBC273180(EXLCZ)99100000000040600619990203d2000 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe religious thought of Chu Hsi[electronic resource] /Julia ChingOxford ;New York Oxford University Press20001 online resource (361 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-19-509189-2 Includes bibliographical references (p. 317-335) and index.Contents; ONE: The World of Thought in Chu Hsi's Time; TWO: The Great Ultimate (T'ai-chi); THREE: Spiritual Beings (Kuei-shen); FOUR: Rituals (Li[sup(c)]); FIVE: Human Nature (Jen-hsing) and the Ethics of Perfectibility; SIX: Personal Cultivation (Hsiu-sheng); SEVEN: Philosophical Disputes with Lu Chiu-yüan; EIGHT: Chu Hsi and Taoism; NINE: Chu Hsi and Buddhism; TEN: Chu Hsi's Critics; ELEVEN: Chu Hsi's Relevance; Appendix A: A Chronology of Chu Hsi's Life and Works; Appendix B: Some Controversies over Chou Tun-yi's Diagram of the Great UltimateAppendix C: Chu Hsi and Whitehead: God and the WorldAppendix D: An Explanation of Key Terms; Notes; Glossary; Selected Bibliography; IndexRecognized as one of the greatest philosophers in classical China, Chu Hsi (1130-1200) is known in the West through translations of one of his many works, the Chin-ssu Lu.
