This paper examines Vladimir Bogoraz’s unfinished essay on how race was represented in the literary works of major colonial European writers, including works by indigenous writers. In the case of Russia, he argued that narodniki failed to document and describe the lives of the colonized subjects, except for Vatslav Seroshevsky’s and his own works on indigenous peoples. By criticizing how Western writers romanticized and racialized the colonized subjects, he aimed to dismantle this phenomena by turning to translations and by writing about the peoples of Siberia.
