Ethnic stereotypes in early medieval Europe were created and rhetorically deployed to justify property claims, demonstrate military might, and assert moral and cultural superiority over others, argues Claire Vida. Drawing on lists of stereotypical ethnic character traits that abounded in school textbooks, medical treatises, proverbs, poems, and chronicles, the author shows how ethnic stereotypes served as rhetorical tools of power, shaping both relationships within and between communities: in other words, attitudes toward Others.
