Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The exploration of race as a concept in the USA reveals its significant impact on societal organization and language, despite failed attempts by nineteenth-century writers to define it biologically. Following Darwin's insights, this book clarifies the confusion surrounding race, racism, and ethnicity by examining them through the lenses of sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and comparative politics. It also highlights potential research avenues that could help move beyond outdated and misleading notions of race in the social sciences.
