about cultural and biological inferiority. The contradictory relationship between imperial linguists’ contribution to Apartheid ideology on ‘cross-racial’ contamination, and their earlier embrace of the Protestant civilising mission which embraced ‘civilisational transfer’, reveals that coexistence and segregation were at the heart of imperial intellectual thought, and shaped colonial projects. In conclusion, Pugach’s detailed and empirical study of a little-discussed topic among imperial historians adds to Joseph Errington and Johannes Fabian’s studies on the contribution of linguistic scholarship to the European colonial project. While the book disadvantageously divorces the entangled formation of ‘linguistic’ and ‘biological’ racisms and their execution in colonial projects, it does shine a welcome spotlight on the transnational and national varieties of intellectual imperial scholarship and their role in European colonialism.
