Das, Nandini, João Vicente Melo, Haig Z. Smith, and Lauren Working. Keywords of Identity, Race, and Human Mobility in Early Modern England. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2021.
A critical lexicon of terminology used to configure racial difference in the context of early modern English. The entries provide historicizations of key concepts such as Alien, Moor, Citizen, Convert, Denizen, Exile, Foreigner, Heathen, Indian, Jew, Mahometan, Pagan, Savage, Turk, and Vagrant. The work thus participates in a broad range of fields including study of early modern England, cultural history, and the English language.
