Race In Early Modern England by Jonathan Burton
A Documentary Companion
A curated collection of early modern English texts—spanning travel accounts, plays, legal and religious writings, and colonial records—traces how ideas of human difference took shape in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. With contextual introductions and annotations, it shows how encounters with Africans, Muslims, Jews, Indigenous peoples, and the Irish were interpreted through intersecting lenses of religion, class, gender, commerce, and empire, revealing race as a fluid, historically contingent concept that hardened alongside overseas expansion, slavery, and the consolidation of state power.
