While notions of both race and otherness in Early Modern England have received intense scrutiny, the existing scholarship dealing with conceptions and performances of race in the period assume a white/non-white binary that positions all non-English peoples, including Moors, Muslims, Native Americans, Jews, Africans, and sometimes even other Europeans such as the Spanish and Irish, equally as the 'other.' While I am not disputing the otherness of peoples such as Moors, Muslims, etc., I am arguing that not all otherness is created equal; while some peoples' otherness exists at the level of identity and can be defined through their relationality to the English as defined through a network of religious, political, and national differences, the otherness of the Black African functions at a level of abstraction that establishes them as the inhuman abject that allows all other notions of otherness to function. I am arguing for the existence of Black Africans as the other 'other' that exists as the negation of the English and the Moor, Christian and Muslim alike, and that the English's first encounter with the Black African body in 1501 became the catalyst that shifted discourse away from notions of a collective identity and allowed for meditations on the individual self.
