β¦ Synopsis
During the English Renaissance, the figure of the classical barbarianβidentified by ineloquent speech that marked him as a cultural outsiderβwas recovered for stereotyping Africans. This book advances the idea that language, and not only color or religion, functioned as an important racial code. This study also reveals the way in which Englandβs strategic projection of a βbarbarousβ language was meant to enhance its own image at the expense of the early modern African. Ian Smith makes use of the sixteenth-century preoccupation with language rehabilitation to tell the larger story of an anxious nation redirecting attention away from its own marginal, minority status by racial scapegoating.
