Abstract

Comment est né le concept de " race " ? Pourquoi est-il devenu si rapidement hiérarchique, distinguant les " races inférieures " des " races supérieures " ? Et comment ce concept a-t-il pu revêtir une telle importance, aussi bien au sein de la communauté scientifique qu'auprès du grand public, au cours du XIX e siècle et du début du XX e, jusqu'à être utilisé pour expliquer l'histoire et le devenir de l'humanité ? L'Invention de la race analyse la genèse des conceptions scientifiques de la " race ", et montre que les nouvelles techniques de mesure et de représentation des corps racialisés opèrent une révolution visuelle majeure, inscrivant la différence humaine dans la biologie. Cet ouvrage avance qu'à partir d'une origine européenne l'idée de race s'est étendue – par les connexions transnationales de réseaux scientifiques et marchands – à tout l'Occident, mais aussi au Japon, à la Corée et à une partie de la Chine. Partout, elle suscite représentations et politiques raciales discriminatoires. L'ouvrage montre aussi que les théories sur les hiérarchies raciales ont influencé les spectacles ethniques (dont les zoos humains), les expositions internationales et coloniales, la photographie ou les collections ethnographiques qui ont largement contribué à forger une vision du monde fondée sur l'inégalité des races.

Abstract

Is it possible to speak of western racism before the eighteenth century? The term 'racism' is normally only associated with theories, which first appeared in the eighteenth century, about inherent biological differences that made one group superior to another. Here, however, leading historians argue that racism can be traced back to the attitudes of the ancient Greeks to their Persian enemies and that it was adopted, adjusted and re-formulated by Europeans right through until the dawn of the Enlightenment. From Greek teachings on environmental determinism and heredity, through medieval concepts of physiognomy, down to the crystallization of attitudes to Indians, Blacks, Jews and Gypsies in the early modern era, they analyse the various routes by which racist ideas travelled before maturing into murderous ideologies in the modern western world. In so doing this book offers a major reassessment of the place of racism in pre-modern European thought.

Abstract

Broad-ranging and comprehensive, this incisive new textbook examines the shifting meanings of 'race' and ethnicity and collates the essential concepts in one indispensable companion volume. From Marxist views to post-colonialism, this book investigates the attendant debates, issues and analyses within the context of global change. Using international case studies from Australia, Malaysia, the Caribbean, Mexico and the UK and examples of popular imagery that help to explain the more difficult elements of theory, this key text focuses on everyday life issues such as: ethnic conflicts and polarised states; racism (s) and policies of multiculturalism; diasporas, asylum seekers and refugees; and, mixed race and hybrid identity. Incorporating summaries, questions, illustrations, exercises and a glossary of terms, this student-friendly text also puts forward suggestions for further project work. Broad in scope, interactive and accessible, this book is a key resource for undergraduate and postgraduate level students of 'race' and ethnicity across the social sciences.

Abstract

In this book, a study is made of ethnic prejudice in cognition and conversation, based on intensive interviewing of white majority group members. After an introductory survey of traditional and more recent approaches in social psychology to the study of prejudice, a new 'sociocognitive' theory is sketched. This theory explains how cognitive representations and strategies of ethnic prejudice depend on their social functions within intergroup relations. It is also shown how ethnic prejudice is communicated in society through everyday talk among majority members. The major part of the book system
