Abstract

Deze studie brengt in beeld hoe het begrip ras in Nederland wordt gebruikt sinds het einde van de vorige eeuw. Fragmenten en foto's uit aardrijkskundeboeken voor het Nederlandse onderwijs worden geanalyseerd. De studie is vooral historisch georiënteerd, en toont aan hoe eurocentrisme en voorstellingen van rassen zich manifesteerden in de schoolboeken. Eén hoofdstuk is gewijd aan een deelstudie over de manier waarop joden en antisemitisme worden beschreven. De analyse van de representaties van de Nederlandse samenleving uit die boeken biedt een goede basis om een aantal principes voor interculturele schoolboeken toe te lichten.

Abstract

"Felicity Nussbaum examines literary and cultural representation of human difference in England and its empire during the long eighteenth century. With a special focus on women's writing, she analyzes canonical and lesser-known novels and plays from the Restoration to abolition. She considers a range of anomalies (defects, disease, and disability) as they intermingle with ideas of a racial femininity and masculinity to define "normalcy" as national identity. Incorporating writings by Behn, Burney, and the Bluestockings - as well as Southerne, Shaftesbury, Johnson, Sterne, and Equiano - Nussbaum treats a range of disabilities - being mute, blind, lame - and physical oddities such as eunuchism and giantism. She shows that these corporeal features, perceived as aberrant and extraordinary, combine in the popular imagination to reveal a repertory of differences located between the extremes of splendid and horrid novelty."--Jacket.

Abstract

Ashley Montagu, who first attacked the term "race" as a usable concept in his acclaimed work, Man's Most Dangerous Myth, offers here a devastating rebuttal to those who would claim any link between race and intelligence. In now classic essays, this thought-provoking volume critically examines the terms "race" and "IQ" and their applications in scientific discourse. The twenty-four contributors -- including such eminent thinkers as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Urie Bronfenbrenner, W.F. Bodmer, and Jerome Kagan -- draw on fields that range from biology and genetics to psychology, anthropology, and education. What emerges in piece after piece is a deep skepticism about the scientific validity of intelligence tests, especially as applied to evaluating innate intelligence, if only because scientists still cannot distinguish between genetic and environmental contributions to the development of the human mind. Five new essays have been included that specifically address the claims made in the recent, highly controversial book, The Bell Curve. Must reading for anyone interested in racism and education in America, Race and IQ is a brilliantly lucid exploration of the boundary line between race and intelligence. - Publisher.

Abstract

"Long-awaited work analyzes role of visual images and technologies (particularly photography, painting, and drawing) in shaping modern understandings of race in the Andes. This fascinating work documents various depictions of Andean peoples from the 18th - 20th centuries, placing scientific analyses of race within the sphere of the modern visual economy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
