Edgar Quinet
1803-1875 (may 1, 1803 – mar 1, 1875)
Description:
“As much a liberal and racist as Thierry, but their accounts differ.”pg. 26
"With Quinet, the nationalist, anti-German spirit of modern France was grafted upon the racism of internal politics. This explains in part why race-history did not remain in every country a local controversy, but came to serve the passions of imperialism and world wars. pg. 26
