Item description from seller

The nineteenth century saw the rejection of earlier classifications of racial diversity -- as grounded in environment, education, and divine origins -- for that of scientific racialism. Used to account for political problems within Europe, it justified imperialism and the imposition of rule over so-called primitive peoples. And yet such racial theory, which is nowadays seen as a characteristic development of the nineteenth century, had its foundations in the age of Enlightenment. This volume reproduces documents written between 1760 and 1850, surveying developments in Germany, France, and England, which reveal the rise of racial theory in all its complex diversity from Buffon and Blumenbach onwards. Die Autorin war von 1993 an Promovendin am Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine in London, wo sie 1996 mit einer Arbeit über die Entstehung der Rassentheorie anhand der Schriften des Anthropologen James Cowles Prichard promoviert wurde. 260 S., Trade paperback, mint / neuwertig. ISBN 9781855064546. …
