The White Man's Burden

Rudyard Kipling

"Take up the White Man's burden—
 Send forth the best ye breed—
Go bind your sons to exile
 To serve your captives' need;..."

'The White Man's Burden' is a poem by Rudyard Kipling first written in 1899 about the Philippine–American War (1899–1902) that calls for the the United States to assume colonial control of the Filipino people and their country. In recent years, it has garnered a reputation as controversial due to changing perspectives on colonialism and British imperialism.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate of the British Empire. Yet his cutting verse and prose reveals a ferociously independent figure, at times violently opposed to the dominant political and literary tendencies of his age. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 "in consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterize the creations of this world-famous author."
