We have our prejudices in England. Or, if that assertion offends any of my readers, I will modify it: we have had our prejudices in England. We have tortured Jews; we have burnt Catholics and Protestants, to say nothing of a few witches and wizards. We have satirized Puritans, and we have dressed-up Guys. But, after all, I do not think we have been so bad as our Continental friends.

27 of 30 people found the following review helpful. Victorian Sociology By Joanne Marinelli While I heart Gaskell as a Victorian era underdog in a universe of starlets, An Accused Race might be a little too much on the modern reader's patience, as Gaskell is simply engaging in what was then a reformist treatise of her day, decrying the (mostly baffling) oppression of the Cagots in Europe, and while it is nice to be educated about historic social stigma, this is not a narrative that offers much to a lay reader. Gaskell's own bafflement about why the Cagots were so stigmatized doesn't necessarily make for relevant engagement. While it might be useful for the scholar, unless you have sampled all the free downloads and don't care what you're sifting through on screen, this is a skip.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. History of the Cagots By Diana S. Long This is a non fiction work which could be more an essay than a story. I have never heard of the "Cagots"and their plights which extended for at least a thousand years. It appears these people were just the same as any other human being and they only could be recognized by their family names. Because of superstitions and false information this race was cast as undesirable and for the most part denied basic human rights. Mrs. Gaskill was not going to pass up an opportunity to pick up the gauntlet and again expand her cause as a champion of the underdogs. Very informative and interesting work.

History repeats itself, and people who are not taught to value all life will inevitably come up with a reason to hate, persecute, or exploit some group of people. I think it is important to teach how this happens, so we can recognize it in today's society.
