Strangers in Blood
*Strangers in Blood: Relocating Race in the Renaissance*, examines the association produced in a range of early modern genres between migration to foreign lands and degeneration. In this literature’s emphasis on how new environments will alter the physical constitution of English settlers, the book identifies a major transition to a racial system predicated on bloodline and lineal identity.
