Arguing that, in early modern discourse, the concept of race was primarily linked with notions of bloodline, lineage, and genealogy rather than with skin colour and ethnicity, Jean E. Feerick establishes that the characterization of settler communities as subject to degenerative decline constituted a massive challenge to the fixed system of blood that had hitherto underpinned the English social hierarchy.Considering contexts as diverse as Ireland, Virginia, and the West Indies, Strangers in Blood tracks the widespread cultural concern that moving out of England would adversely affect the temper and complexion of the displaced individual, changes that could be fought only through willed acts of self-discipline. In emphasizing the decline of blood as found at the centre of colonial narratives, Feerick illustrates the unwitting disassembling of one racial system and the creation of another. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aSocial classes in literature 606 $aBlood in literature 606 $aHuman skin color in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRace in literature. 615 0$aSocial classes in literature. 615 0$aBlood in literature. 615 0$aHuman skin color in literature. 676 $a820.9/355 700 $aFeerick$b Jean E$g(Jean Elizabeth),$f1968-$0896955 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456962203321 996 $aStrangers in blood$92004179 997 $aUNINA
