White Anglo-Saxon Protestant
Schindler's book helps to illustrate the wide reach of the utopian literature of its era. While many books in the genre were authored by White Anglo-Saxon Protestant males, other works were created by Jewish, Irish (Ignatius Donnelly's "Caesar's Column" and "The Golden Bottle"), and African-American (Sutton E. Griggs's "Imperium in Imperio") writers, and by a number of women.
