Racialization, Capitalism, and Aesthetics in Stoker's Dracula

Bram Stoker's Dracula has been understood to respond to the fears of late Victorians that degeneration threatened both the British race and the British empire. McKee focuses on the alliance in novel of modernized whiteness with the productivity of late capitalism and on how the alliance allows whiteness to claim regenerative powers. She concludes that Dracula, read as a narrative of racialization, thereby exposes complicities of capitalism and racialization in the Victorian period, and perhaps in later times also.
