- Description
- The author argues that Seacole in Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands (1857) challenges the increasingly rigidifying physical taxonomies of the mid-nineteenth century. Seacole compares her ÔÇ£CreoleÔÇØ body, emotionally and physically, with that of her British readers.
