Figuring Racism in Medieval Christianity
Kaplan, Lindsay (Professor of English, Professor of English, Georgetown University)
M. Lindsay Kaplan expands the study of the history of racism through an analysis of the medieval Christian concept of Jewish servitude. Developed through exegetical readings of Biblical figures in canon law, this discourse produces a racial status of hereditary inferiority that justifies the subordination not only of Jews, but of Muslims and Africans as well.
