The White Man's Foot (1888)

The White Man's Foot is a book written by Grant Allen and first published in 1888. The book is a collection of essays that explore the impact of European imperialism and colonialism on the cultures and peoples of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The title of the book is a reference to the idea that wherever white men go, they leave their mark on the land and the people they encounter.In the essays, Allen examines the ways in which European powers have exploited and oppressed the native populations of the lands they have colonized. He also explores the cultural clashes that occur when European values and traditions are imposed on non-European societies.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the destruction of indigenous peoples and their cultures, the exploitation of natural resources, the impact of Christianity on non-Christian societies, and the role of science and technology in colonialism.Overall, The White Man's Foot is a powerful critique of European imperialism and a call for greater understanding and respect for the cultures and peoples of the world. It remains an important work in the history of colonialism and a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
