   “This protoracism, however, was only one component of early German romanticism; of equal importance, in the subtext of much of the legendary material collected and published during the period around 1800, are religious devotion (antirationalist and proclerical), barter economies (anticapitalist), loyalty to monarchs and nobles (antidemocratic), and nationalistic views of a new Germany restored to its lost unity, military might, and territorial hegemony.”

   “Like the Jews, the Africans were subjects of a religious protoracism, since even the Christians among them were under suspicion for being “of African blood.””
