She argues that racial discourses are generally dominated by paternalism--a concept usually used to explain power structures that is often applied to the nineteenth century. Hondius identifies five patterns of paternalism that influenced Europe much earlier and iniated trends of imagery and perception. Taking a chronological and thematic approach, Hondius first focuses on southern European societies in the Early Modern period and moves to northwest European societies in the Modern period. Addressing religion, law, and science, she concludes with a synthesis of developments from the twentieth century to the present.--From publisher description Notes Print version record Subject Black people -- Europe, Western -- History Black people -- Europe, Western -- Social conditions Black people -- Race identity -- Europe, Western Racism -- Europe, Western -- History SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Discrimination & Race Relations.
