Significance of the title “The White Man’s Burden”
The prime interpretation of Kipling’s "The White Man's Burden" (1899)
proposes that the "white race" is morally obligated to rule over the "non-
white" people of the planet Earth, and to encourage their progress
(economic, social, and cultural) by using colonialism which is based upon
the Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries displacing the culture and
religions of the natives.
The implication, of course, was that the Empire existed not for the benefit—
economic or strategic or otherwise—of Britain, itself, but in order to help
the primitive people who are incapable of self-government, with British
guidance, eventually become civilized (and Christianized).
John Bull ( UK/England)
The man before hiking before Uncle Sam is a national
personification of the United Kingdom in general and England in
particular, especially in political cartoons and similar graphic
works. He is usually depicted as a stout, middle-aged, country-
dwelling, jolly and matter-of-fact man.
Uncle Sam ( America)
The precise origin of the character is unclear, but a popular
legend is that the name "Uncle Sam" was derived from Samuel
Wilson, a meatpacker from Troy, New York who supplied rations
for American soldiers during the War of 1812.
Inscriptions on the Rocks:
Oppression, Superstition, Ignorance, Slavery, Vice, Barbarism,
Brutality, Cruelty- all of these depict the traits of The uncivilized
non-white people who lack the taste and touch of civilization.
top-left side of the picture:
Both Uncle Sam and John Bull are trying their best to reach out
for the light of civilization by carrying these heavy baskets full of
uncultured beings.
Imperialism
Imperialism is "the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending
the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct
territorial acquisitions or by getting indirect control over the
political or economic life of other areas.
• Labor of conquering nations
• Bloody battles to bring civilization
• Controlling attitude of the colonizers
• Indirect indication towards erasing out the native
cultures.
Partition of Africa and
Brutality
• Enforced official rules and informal propaganda
• Forced labor and brutality
• Repression of the rebellions
• Great role of Belgian King Leopold II in cutting off Congo
• Unbearable torture over the non-White people such as
Africans, Asians etc.
More visual evidences of Racism
Anti-Black Racism
• American civil war arose deep anxieties about
imminent slave war.
• Sensational accounts on alleged black
atrocities were reported in the British press.
• Race connection with the labor class.
• Need for "benevolent guardianship" over
alleged ex-slave' return to primitivism.
Men and Masculinity in “The White Man’s Burden”
• Racist and masculinist view of the role of men.
• Kipling attempts to motivate potential British
Colonists according to his believing.
• Joseph Conrad's heart of darkness.
• Conrad's conception of masculinity as a result.
Duty- depiction in the poem
• Sudden realization of fulfilling duty
• Duty to make others civilized
• Zero-acceptance attitude towards others’
cultures.
• Redemption
• Encouragement of sacrificing for others
Sacrifice- the ending of the poem
European powers such England, France and Germany
believed that they were superior to all non-white groups of
people, and believed they had a moral obligation to give
them the “gift” of civilization.
In short, “The White Man’s Burden” manifests an unraveled
history of the extermination of the lost cultures and
ethnicities by hoisting the sanguinary flag of the superiority,
slavery and racism.
