Question: Richard Cumberland wrote plays that had sympathetic depictions of the characters that focused on what mindset, based on unequal relationships between two countries?

Context paragraphs:
France–United Kingdom relations: France–United Kingdom relations are the relations between the governments of the French Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK).  The historical ties between the two countries are long and complex, including conquest, wars, and alliances at various points in history.  The Roman era saw both areas, except Scotland and Northern Ireland, conquered by Rome, whose fortifications exist in both countries to this day, and whose writing system introduced a common alphabet to both areas; however, the language barrier remained.  The Norman conquest of England in 1066 decisively shaped English history, as well as the English language.  In the medieval period, the countries were often bitter enemies, with both nations' monarchs claiming control over France.  The Hundred Years' War stretched from 1337 to 1453 resulting in French victory.  Britain and France fought a series of five major wars , culminating in the Coalition victory over Napoleon in 1815.  After that there were some tensions, but peace generally prevailed and as the 19th century progressed, the relationship became better.  Closer ties between the two began with the 1904 Entente cordiale, particularly via the alliances in World War I and World War II, wherein both countries fought against Germany, and in the latter conflict British armies helped to liberate occupied France from the Nazis.  Both nations opposed the Soviet Union during the Cold War and were founding members of NATO.  In recent years the two countries have experienced a quite close relationship, especially on defence and foreign policy issues; the two countries tend, however, to disagree on a range of other matters, most notably the European Union.  The British press relishes the chance to refer to France and Britain as "historic rivals" or emphasize the perceived ever-lasting competition that still opposes the two countries.

Cultural imperialism: Cultural imperialism comprises the cultural aspects of imperialism.  Imperialism here refers to the creation and maintenance of unequal relationships between civilizations, favoring the more powerful civilization.  Thus, cultural imperialism is the practice of promoting and imposing a culture, usually that of a politically powerful nation, over a less powerful society; in other words, the cultural hegemony of industrialized or economically influential countries which determine general cultural values and standardize civilizations throughout the world.  The term is employed especially in the fields of history, cultural studies, and postcolonial theory.  It is usually used in a pejorative sense, often in conjunction with calls to reject such influence.  Cultural imperialism can take various forms, such as an attitude, a formal policy, or military action, insofar as it reinforces cultural hegemony.

Colonialism: Colonialism is the establishment of a colony in one territory by a political power from another territory, and the subsequent maintenance, expansion, and exploitation of that colony.  Colonialism involves unequal relationships between the colonial power and the colony and often between the colonists and the indigenous peoples.

The Note of Hand: The Note of Hand, or Trip to Newmarket is a 1774 comedy play by the British writer Richard Cumberland.  A farce it was the final play performed by David Garrick at the Drury Lane Theatre before his retirement.  The play mocked some of the leading Whig politicians of the era such as Charles Fox and the Duke of Devonshire.  This may have been the cause of Cumberland's dispute with Richard Brinsley Sheridan who was a Whig.  Sheridan went on to create a character closely based on Cumberland in the 1779 play "The Critic".

Jerome Myers: Jerome Myers (March 20, 1867 – June 19, 1940) was an American artist and writer associated with the Ashcan School, particularly known for his sympathetic depictions of the urban landscape and its people.

Geography of food: The geography of food is a field of human geography.  It focuses on patterns of food production and consumption on the local to global scale.  Tracing these complex patterns helps geographers understand the unequal relationships between developed and developing countries in relation to the innovation, production, transportation, retail and consumption of food.  It is also a topic that is becoming increasingly charged in the public eye.  The movement to reconnect the 'space' and 'place' in the food system is growing, spearheaded by the research of geographers.

Richard Cumberland (dramatist): Richard Cumberland (19 February 1731/2 – 7 May 1811) was an English dramatist and civil servant.  In 1771 his hit play "The West Indian" was first staged.  During the American War of Independence he acted as a secret negotiator with Spain in an effort to secure a peace agreement between the two nations.  He also edited a short-lived critical journal called "The London Review" (1809).  His plays are often remembered for their sympathetic depiction of colonial characters and others generally considered to be margins of society.

The Brothers (Cumberland play): The Brothers is a 1769 comedy play by Richard Cumberland.  The play was Cumberland's breakthrough work.

Border imperialism: Border Imperialism is a concept first introduced by activist and author, Harsha Walia, and the topic of her book, "Undoing Border Imperialism".  Border imperialism, then, represents the extension and imposition of Western rule, with the current dynamics of global empire maintaining unequal relationships of political, economic, cultural, and social dominance of the West over its colonies," Border imperialism specifically "defies relegating matters of immigration to that of any single state or government," rather it, "links the politics of borders to global systems of power and repression, systems which find their roots in ‘othering,’ colonization, and slavery.”

The Chronicles of Tornor: The Chronicles of Tornor is a fantasy series by American lesbian author Elizabeth A. Lynn.

The third title in the series is "Northern Girl" (1980).
