Chapman, Matthieu. Anti-Black Racism in Early Modern English Drama: The Other “Other.” London: Routledge, 2018.
Study of anti-Blackness at work in early modern England. Drawing upon English dramas as evidence, the book argues that the early modern English placed Black Africans outside the scope of humanity as a key facet of constructing not only their own humanity, but that of non-Black “Others” as well. This book is likely to be of interest to students of English, Shakespeare studies, Black studies.
