Black Metaphors: How Modern Racism Emerged from Medieval Race-Thinking - The Middle Ages Series

In Black Metaphors, Cord J. Whitaker argues that rhetoric and theology establish blackness and whiteness as metaphors for sin and purity in medieval English and European writing. Whitaker shows how these metaphors came to guide the development of notions of race in the centuries that followed.
