| Description: |
How is it that science has been a factor for both the rise of racislist thinking and its demise? This volume of essays, drawn from the journals "Isis" and "Osiris", demonstrates that race and political and social ideologies have interacted in complex and unexpected ways. |
| Synopsis: |
Recent scholarship has argued that "race" is a fairly recent concept in western thought and arose concurrently with modern science. Yet, in recent decades, science has been a powerful tool employed against racialist thinking. How is it that science has been a factor for both the rise of racialist thinking and its demise? This volume of essays, drawn from the journals "Isis" and "Osiris", demonstrates that race and political and social ideologies have interacted in complex and unexpected ways. |
