Unravel the complex themes of race and science in 'Is Science Racist?', a compelling exploration by Jonathan Marks. This insightful book delves into the historical and scientific underpinnings of race, questioning age-old assumptions about human inequality. Drafted with precision, Marks connects the past eugenics movement to contemporary genomic science, unveiling how the fallacies surrounding race persist in today’s society. With a scholarly yet engaging tone, this essay exposes the misconceptions that race is a natural category defined by biology. Instead, he posits that understanding race demands a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from the humanities, history, and politics. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone interested in the intersections of science, race, and society, 'Is Science Racist?' promises to challenge your perspective and provoke critical thought. Dive into this enlightening read and discover why the dialogue around race in science is as relevant now as ever. Available in brand new condition, this edition, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2017, consists of 140 pages rich in analysis and thought-provoking discourse. Note: Shipping for this item is free.

Description:


Every arena of science has its own flash-point issues”chemistry and poison gas, physics and the atom bomb”and genetics has had a troubled history with race. As Jonathan Marks reveals, this dangerous relationship rumbles on to this day, still leaving plenty of leeway for a belief in the basic natural inequality of races.The eugenic science of the early twentieth century and the commodified genomic science of today are unified by the mistaken belief that human races are naturalistic categories. Yet their boundaries are founded neither in biology nor in genetics and, not being a formal scientific concept, race is largely not accessible to the scientist. As Marks argues, race can only be grasped through the humanities: historically, experientially, politically. This wise, witty essay explores the persistence and legacy of scientific racism, which misappropriates the authority of science and undermines it by converting it into a social weapon.

Padding?
Format: Paperback
The book is a good quality, and the i like contents... besides the fact fully one third of the book is just the storyboard and script, with some sketches. Im used to covers and other supplemental materials taking up a few pages at the end, but that's ridiculous. Its either somewhat scummy padding or a complete mismatch in what i want and alot of other folks want i guess.
