Rezensionen

"Racial Apocalypse is an original exploration of how concepts of race emerged in early modern Spain and England through the belief that Christ would establish an eternal kingdom. Villagrana illustrates how a form of white supremacy emerges as Spanish and English Christians struggled to understand how indigenous peoples and Black Africans might be incorporated into the kingdom of God. This book will importantly add to our understanding of how religious doctrine informs racial formation and racism." -- Dennis Austin Britton, University of New Hampshire
