Description

Explore the historical shift in racial ideologies with this academic study from Cambridge University Press. The Retreat of Scientific Racism examines how the scientific foundations for racism were refuted in Britain and the United States during the period between the two World Wars. This work provides a deep look into the sociology of knowledge, tracing the moment when racial differences stopped being attributed to cultural factors. Professor Barkan analyzes the social impact of this transformation and how it shaped race relations in the modern world. By reviewing the work of leading biologists and anthropologists from the interwar years, the text explains how the movement toward new ideologies was driven by the inclusion of new voices in academic circles, including women, Jews, and leftists. This book is an essential resource for students and readers interested in the history of social and cultural thought.
