The Racial Hand in the Victorian Imagination - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Briefel, Aviva (Bowdoin College, Maine)
The hands of colonized subjects were vital sites of fascination and interpretation in late-Victorian imperial narratives. The book considers accounts of fingerprinting, amputation, disease, manual labor, and mummification as central examples of the racial significance assigned to hands around the fin de siècle.
