Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines evidence about people of colour in Victorian Britain. Census data shows that 0.59% of the population of England and Wales was born outside of Europe in 1911. However, census data omits ethnicity. Evidence analysed in this article shows that people of colour did migrate to and settle in Victorian Britain and were able to integrate in British society. Some of the textual evidence presented provides clear evidence of social cohesion whereas other shows continued orientalisation and ‘othering’ of people of colour but does provide implicit suggestions of social cohesion such as exogamy even through its disdainful language.

“这样一个团体！呈现如此多的民族：维多利亚时代英国的社会凝聚力和有色人种定居

摘要本文考察了维多利亚时代英国有色人种的相关证据。人口普查数据显示，1911年，英格兰和威尔士0.59%的人口出生在欧洲以外。然而，人口普查数据忽略了种族。本文分析的证据表明，有色人种确实迁移到维多利亚时代的英国并在那里定居，并能够融入英国社会。所提供的一些文本证据提供了社会凝聚力的明确证据，而另一些则显示了有色人种的持续东方化和“他者化”，但即使通过其轻蔑的语言，也确实提供了社会融合的隐含暗示，如外通婚。
