    Shakespeare's play The Tempest

    Explanation:

    He used Shakespeare's play The Tempest where the examples of treating Indians by English people are observed. Furthermore, Ronald Takaki raises the problem that New England was formed in the conditions of constant discrimination supported with unreasonable stereotypes that gave raise to "the racialization of Indian savagery" (Takaki 907). Having read an essay by Takaki, the following words caught attention:

    This process of dehumanizing the Indians developed a peculiarly New England dimension as the colonists associated Indians with the devil. Indian identity became then a matter of 'descent': their racial markers indicated ineradicable qualities of savagery. This social construction of race occurred within the economic context of competition over land (Takaki 907).
