"the innate dislike of race to race" :| :| :| Love how they justified their imperial monstrosities with "oh yeah people just naturally hate each other. Nothing we can do".

Thanks for the retweet. I feel I should stick up for Craik's honor as a novelist. She isn't barmy about race and her novel doesn't foreground Celts vs. Saxons. There is a Highlands Gael-English marriage that produces a child with a birth defect.

It's not crazy to think that Craik is relying on readers to have a sense for this racial discourse. If it's there in the background it imparts extra structure to Craik's story. But, on second thought, I've decided the reading is a bit of a stretch. But interesting.
