| Summary: | "'Lesser Breeds' focuses on racism as manifested in the popular culture of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, exemplified by attitudes to the Chinese, Arabs, Blacks and Jews. This book investigates the manifold expressions of prejudice in the popular arts of the period. This is a comparative exploration of how popular racism was naturalised, what issues it raised and fed off, and what this said about British people at the time."--BOOK JACKET. |
