Couverture du Jackson John P. Jackson & Weidman Nadine M. Weidman: Race, Racism, and Science (PDF)

A provocative overview of the history of the race concept in European and American science, based on current research that shows how race and science grew together in Western thought.What, historically, has the term ‘race’ meant? What is the relationship between the scientific study of race and racism? Race, Racism, and Science: Social Impact and Interaction explores these questions as it recaps the history of race-centered research from its origins in the late 1700s to Darwin’s influential work on natural selection to the present. It is a compelling introduction to the way race science initially gained acceptance and how race studies both reflect and shape their times.Readers will see how scientific and pseudoscientific explanations of racial differences (social Darwinism, eugenics, craniometry, scientific racism) provided intellectual cover for inhuman acts, and how Ashley Montagu, Richard Lewontin, and other 20th-century antiracists fought to refute the scientific support of bigotry.
