British Writers Were Racist?

from The Breakfast Podcast · host Patricia López Muñoz

This series is a journey through literature without borders. In each episode, I dive into a book, an author, or a literary movement from different parts of the world. Because books are passports too, and every story carries us closer to new cultures, languages, and ways of seeing life. After reading and analyzing several works of English literature, specifically those written in the 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with the expansion of the British Empire, it could be said that there are authors whose works, on the surface, seem to denounce imperialist actions, but are quite the opposite. Today I'm talking about Rudyard Kipling and Roald Dahl.
