"Agents without Empire explores race-making in this [16th century] period of European history in the context of diplomatic posts, travel accounts, natural history, propaganda, religious literature, poetry, theater, fiction, and cheap print. It intervenes in conversations in whiteness studies, race theory, theories of agency and matter, and the history of diplomacy and spying to offer a new account of race-making in early modern Europe"--Page 4 of cover.
