For many Victorians, the idea of taming cannibals or civilizing savages was oxymoronic: civilization was a goal that the nonwhite peoples of the world could not attain or, at best, could only approximate, yet the \"civilizing mission\" was viewed as the ultimate justification for imperialism. Similarly, the supposedly unshakeable certainty of Anglo-Saxon racial superiority was routinely undercut by widespread fears about racial degeneration through contact with \"lesser\" races or concerns that Anglo-Saxons might be superseded by something superior--an even \"fitter\" or \"higher\" race or species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrantlinger traces the development of those fears through close readings of a wide range of texts--including \u003cem\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003c\/em\u003e by Daniel Defoe, \u003cem\u003eFiji and the Fijians\u003c\/em\u003e by Thomas Williams, \u003cem\u003eDaily Life and Origin of the Tasmanians\u003c\/em\u003e by James Bonwick, \u003cem\u003eThe Descent of Man\u003c\/em\u003e by Charles Darwin, \u003cem\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/em\u003e by Joseph Conrad, \u003cem\u003eCulture and Anarchy\u003c\/em\u003e by Matthew Arnold, \u003cem\u003eShe\u003c\/em\u003e by H.
