Sinossi
Marek Kohn surveys unflinchingly the theory and the practitioners of race science in Europe and the United State, burrowing into furtive corners of anthropology and biology to trace the antecedents of arguments that have taken on a strange new respectability at a time when a book like The Bell Curve can become a bestseller. He shows how a distorted understanding of genetics and history is creating the intellectual climate that racial determinism needs.
Kohn also argues that science cannot be walled off from the discussion of human differences. Modern medicine has, for example, shown how some illnesses are linked to genetic factors common among certain ethnic groups. He looks forward to an enlightened science of human diversity in which knowledge of our genes, our history, languages and cultures is not used to erect barriers between people.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Genetics and human anthropology were often deeply racist disciplines before World War II; hierarchies of intelligence and ability among races were drawn up, and it was thought that the unfit should be weeded out of the population. These ideas were not the sole property of Nazi Germany, but were endorsed widely in the USA and Europe. The Holocaust and other massacres in the name of racial purity buried such notions for decades, but the author shows here how they are returning in the work of often well-meaning scientists. Exploiting as they do anxieties about race, social breakdown and nationalism, these ideas are increasingly less marginal. This book analyzes such ideas and their defenders in a powerful expose of resurgent racialism in science. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR003148807
