Summary note
"European Racism provides more than 130 primary sources—from religious tracts, legal codes, and government edicts, to novel excerpts, paintings, and songs—to help readers trace the development and spread of racism in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present day. The volume is organized into six chapters revealing how Europeans developed racist attitudes toward various groups: Jews, Muslims, Black Africans, Asians, the Romani, and global Indigenous Peoples. The editors highlight how racism intersects with gender roles, sexual identities, economic status, religious affiliation, national origin, and military alliances, while also stressing moments of historical anti-racist resistance. Authors provide a general volume introduction and six section introductions, and contextualizing headnotes accompany each document; as well, marginal glossing throughout helps students with unfamiliar references and terminology."-- Provided by publisher.
