Sinossi
In this lucid and original book, Warwick Anderson offers the first comprehensive history of Australian medical and scientific ideas about race and place. ""The Cultivation of Whiteness"" examines the notion of 'whiteness' as a flexible category in scientific and public debates. This is the first time such an analytic framework has been used anywhere in the history of medicine or of science. Anderson also provides the first full account of experimentation in the 1920s and 1930s on Aboriginal people in the central deserts. As the first extensive (and entertaining) historical survey of ideas about the peopling of Australia, it will help to reshape debate on race, ethnicity, citizenship and environment.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In this prize-winning study, Warwick Anderson offers the first comprehensive history of Australian medical and scientific ideas about race and place.In nineteenth-century Australia, the main commentators on race and biological differences were doctors. But the medical profession entertained serious anxieties about the possibility of "racial degeneration" of the white population in the new land, and medical and social scientists dedicated themselves to the pursuit of a purified and vigorous white Australia.The Cultivation of Whiteness examines the notions of 'whiteness' and racism, and introduces a whole new framework for discussion of the history of medicine and science. Anderson provides the first full account of the experimentation in the 1920s and '30s on Aboriginal people of the central deserts-experiments whose revelation compelled a major Australian university to publicly apologize to the Aboriginal people. Lucid and compelling throughout, this pioneering historical survey of ideas will help to reshape debate on race, ethnicity, citizenship, and environment everywhere. Offers the comprehensive history of Australian medical and scientific ideas about race and place. This work examines the notion of 'whiteness' as a flexible category in scientific and public debates. It also provides an account of experimentation in the 1920s and 1930s on Aboriginal people in the central deserts. This item is printed on demand.
