The literary trope of the grateful slave was used to justify colonial practices of white supremacy in the eighteenth century. Taking in literary sources as well as texts on colonialism and slavery, in this book Boulukos offers a fresh account of the development of racial difference in the eighteenth-century English-speaking world.
