More interesting is the photograph of a black Metropolitan policeman at Chislehurst, taken in September 1910, when all the conventional history states that black men were denied entry to the force on grounds of race until the first appointment in 1968.

This essay "Reconstructing Victorian Racial Discourse" by Douglas Lorimer isn't as mindblowing as Morrison's Playing in the Dark, but it's mining the same hellishly difficult and immensely rewarding frame of thinking. If everyone, writer or non, made the same effort, the world would be a better place.

It was, after all, a Victorian English trait to enjoy very un-English Victorian traits, but only at a strategic distance.

I could get used to academic journalesque essay collections if they're all as carefully curated as this one.
