While some of his American readers argued that the poem served as justification for imperialist practices, others saw Kipling?s satirical talents at work and read it as condemnation. Gretchen Murphy explores this tension embedded in the notion of the white man?s burden to create a new historical frame for understanding race and literature in America.Shadowing the White Man?s Burden maintains that literature symptomized and channeled anxiety about the racial components of the U.S. world mission, while also providing a potentially powerful medium for multiethnic authors interested in redrawing global color lines. Through a range of archival materials from literary reviews to diplomatic records to ethnological treatises, Murphy identifies a common theme in the writings of African-, Asian- and Native-American authors who exploited anxiety about race and national identity through narratives about a multiracial U.S. empire. Shadowing the White Man?s Burden situates American literature in the context of broader race relations, and provides a compelling analysis of the way in which literature came to define and shape racial attitudes for the next century. 410 0$aAmerica and the long 19th century. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aRacism in literature 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y19th century 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aGretchen. 610 $aMurphy. 610 $aburden. 610 $acreate. 610 $aembedded. 610 $aexplores. 610 $aframe. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amans. 610 $anotion. 610 $arace. 610 $atension. 610 $athis. 610 $aunderstanding. 610 $awhite. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 615 0$aRacism in literature. 676 $a813.4093552 700 $aMurphy$b Gretchen$f1971-$01604626 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827702103321 996 $aShadowing the white man's burden$93972848 997 $aUNINA
