In the nineteenth century, these theories fused with Darwinism to produce the highly influential and pernicious eugenics movement. These ideologues proposed programs of intelligence testing, selective breeding, and human sterilization—policies that fed straight into Nazi genocide. Although eugenics is now widely discredited, some groups and individuals today claim a new scientific basis for old racist assumptions.
Instead, what exists is gradual variation in what people look like e. If you travel in different directions, the populations look different in different ways. The second concept, social race, is a set of cultural categories for labeling people based on how their ancestors were classified, selected aspects of what they look like, or various combinations of both.
These sets of categories vary widely from one culture to another. Spelsberg Ph. The Myth of Race illustrates how cutting-edge research into our DNA has proven that all human beings are so genetically close, that we are actually ALL one race.
It details how our ancestors all originated in Africa, and over time, developed varying visible and invisible traits, through historical migrations and changing environments. What does science say about race? In this book a distinguished research geneticist presents abundant evidence showing that traditional notions about distinct racial differences have little scientific foundation.
In short, racism is not just morally wrong; it has no basis in fact. The author lucidly describes in detail the factors that have led to the current scientific consensus about race.
Both geneticists and anthropologists now generally agree that the human species originated in sub-Saharan Africa and darkly pigmented skin was the ancestral state of humanity.
Moreover, worldwide human diversity is so complex that discrete races cannot be genetically defined. And for individuals, ancestry is more scientifically meaningful than race. Separate chapters are devoted to controversial topics: skin color and the scientific reasons for the differences; why ancestry is more important to individual health than race; intelligence and human diversity; and evolutionary perspectives on the persistence of racism.
This is an enlightening book that goes a long way toward dispelling the irrational notions at the heart of racism. Geneticist Dave Unander argues that the term "race" implies greater differences among groups of human beings than is separated by genetic evidence. Exploring how science has been abused to justify racism, this book weaves together science and history to offer foundations for biblical and theological perspectives as questions of "race".
In , a planter in colonial Maryland tortured and killed one of his slaves, an Angolan man named Antonio who refused to work the fields. Over three centuries later, a Detroit labor organizer named Simon Owens watched as strikebreakers wielding bats and lead pipes beat his fellow autoworkers for protesting their inhumane working conditions.
Ein wahrhaftiger Blick auf eines der spaltendsten Themen unserer Gegenwart. Jordan B. Gleichberechtigung zwischen den Geschlechtern, zwischen Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft und sexueller Orientierung sind wichtige Errungenschaften unserer Gesellschaft. Murray zeigt, wie wir im Ringen um die Anerkennung jedes Einzelnen unsere Vernunft, unsere gemeinsamen Werte und letztlich unsere Menschlichkeit verlieren.
Over three centuries later, a Detroit labor organizer named Simon Owens watched as strikebreakers wielding bats and lead pipes beat his fellow autoworkers for protesting their inhumane working conditions. In A Dreadful Deceit, award-winning historian Jacqueline Jones traces the lives of these two men and four other African Americans to reveal how the concept of race has obscured the factors that truly divide and unite us.
Expansive, visionary, and provocative, A Dreadful Deceit explodes the pernicious fiction that has shaped American history. Author : Alain F. States that antisemites consider Jewishness to be inherited and to embody inferior, evil traits.
This view is based on two false biological premises: that there are pure races of humans, and that some races are superior to others. Rejects these premises by considering modern biology and Jewish history. The latter indicates that the Jews cannot be a race, due to their lack of sexual isolation; diversity among Jews is a result of both intermarriage and proselytism. Sees the Spanish "limpieza de sangre" statutes and the Inquisition as precursors of Nazi racism. Kalwant Bhopal explores how neoliberal policy making has increased rather than decreased discrimination faced.
