Uncle Tom in England; Or: A Proof That Black's White: An Echo to the American "Uncle Tom."

Meer over het boek

This book is a compelling exploration of race and class dynamics, set in England and presented as a response to Stowe's own blockbuster novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Stowe challenges the popular notions of race at the time, arguing that whiteness is not a biological fact but a social construct. Through the story of a black man who passes as white, she exposes the hypocrisy and inherent flaws of a society built on such rigid notions of race. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of race relations.
