Synopsis

Explores a historical vision of racial hierarchy and strategic policy.

This edition presents a controversial plan that argues for racial supremacy and outlines methods to shift power between peoples. It presents a worldview in which one race aims to secure control of the earth through political, economic, and social strategies.

The book examines:

• Claims about the perceived future of races and the idea of strategic competition on a global scale.
• Arguments about how economic systems and missionary activities are used to influence populations.
• The role of labor, migration, and social institutions in shaping power dynamics.
• Tactics alleged to promote long-term dominance while managing opposition.

Ideal for readers intrigued by historical manifestos, race theory debates, and the rhetoric of extremist movements, approached as a study of rhetoric and influence rather than endorsement.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from A Yellow World

Residing in Shanghai during those stirring July days when the Boxers were defying Europe and America, destroying the Manchurian railway, and holding Pekin isolated from the rest of the world, I made the acquaintance, by chance, of a discharged servant of his Excellency, the Viceroy Liu Kun-Yih.

Learning from his conversation that he held some novel opinions concerning the ultimate purpose of the Boxers' movement, I questioned him closely, and discovered that he had in his possession a number of letters addressed to his former master and signed Li Hung Chang, III. Son of Li Hung Chang, First Secretary to the Chief of the Boxers at Tsi-Nan.

As the result of much persuasion I succeeded in purchasing the documents for the sum of fourteen taels. Thinking that they might interest or amuse some of my fellow countrymen, I have translated them, and herewith give them to the printer.
