Taming Cannibals

Race and the Victorians

by Patrick Brantlinger ...

In Taming Cannibals**, Patrick Brantlinger unravels contradictions embedded in the racist and imperialist ideology of the British Empire**. For many Victorians, the idea of taming cannibals or civilizing savages was oxymoronic: civilization was a goal that the nonwhite peoples of the world could not attain or, at best, could only approximate, yet the "civilizing mission" was viewed as the ultimate ...
