Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Patrick Brantlinger here examines the commonly held nineteenth century view that all 'primitive' or 'savage' races around the world were doomed sooner or later to extinction. Warlike propensities and presumed cannibalism were regarded as simultaneously noble and suicidal, accelerants of the downfall of other races after contact with while civilization. Brantlinger finds at the heart of this belief the stereotype of the self-exterminating savage, or the view that 'savagery' is a sufficient explanation for the ultimate disappearance of 'savages' from the grand theater of world history. Humanitarians, according to Brantlinger, saw the problem in the same terms of inevitability (or doom) as did scientists such as Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley as well as propagandists for empire such as Charles Wentworth Dilke and James Anthony Froude.
