As novas tecnologias biomédicas têm impactos não só na saúde, mas também sociais, políticos, éticos e econômicos, o que coloca desafios para historiadores, filósofos, antropólogos e sociólogos. Reflexões e análises sobre o assunto são apresentadas nesta coletânea, cujos artigos abordam os mais variados fenômenos: os testes de ancestralidade genética, a polêmica sobre uso de embriões para produção de células-tronco, a gênese da loucura e da violência, diagnósticos moleculares, doação de sêmen e longevidade humana, assim como o papel da biomedicina na luta sindicalista e no reconhecimento de direitos de povos indígenas. “Através de diferentes enfoques, os textos abordam as múltiplas formas pelas quais a ciência (em especial a tecnociência contemporânea) contribui para moldar o mundo social em domínios como identificação pessoal, identidades nacionais e ações coletivas, inclusive na área da saúde”, resumem os organizadores. “Os textos aqui reunidos estão, em sua totalidade, voltados para as vinculações entre produção de conhecimento científico sobre a biologia humana e seus desdobramentos socioculturais e políticos.”

Attempts of nineteenth-century writers to establish "race" as a biological concept failed after Charles Darwin opened the door to a new world of knowledge. Yet this word already had a place in the organization of everyday life and in ordinary English language usage. This book explains how the idea of race became so important in the USA, generating conceptual confusion that can now be clarified. Developing an international approach, it reviews references to "race," "racism," and "ethnicity" in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and comparative politics and identifies promising lines of research that may make it possible to supersede misleading notions of race in the social sciences.
