Before the mid-1800s, black Africans were considered savage to the extent that their plight mirrored England's internal Others-women, the poor, and the Irish. By the 1900s, England's minority groups were being defined in relation to stereotypes of black South Africans. These stereotypes, in turn, were used to justify both new capitalist class and gender hierarchies in England and the subhuman treatment of blacks in South Africa. Bearing this in mind, Zine Magubane considers how marginalized groups in both countries responded to these racialized representations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Revealing the often overlooked links among ideologies of race, class, and gender, \u003ci\u003eBringing the Empire Home\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how much black Africans taught the English about what it meant to be white, poor, or female.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did South Africans become black?
