points out, for example, how the fairy tales in The Brownies' Book
which were set in Africa disrupted widely read Anglocentric fairy tales
but also reinforced negative stereotypes of Africa in their description
of the continent as "a great unknown or else as an image of
primitivism from which the modern (and especially middle-class)
progressive African American sought distance. One of the problems with Anglocentric historians is that they fail
to acknowledge (or else play down) the close connection between Britain
and Germany before 1837: George III was not only King of England,
Scotland, and Ireland, but Elector of Hanover, and therefore a major
figure in the Holy Roman Empire. This mid-fifteenth century moment gives
Schuchard a starting point from which to retell British history from the
perspective of Scottish Freemasonry, a fascinating counterpoint to more
traditionally Anglocentric narratives. |
