Description

Race, Science, and the Nation examines how nineteenth-century scholars in Britain, France and the German lands reconstructed their earliest ancestors through emerging disciplines including philology, archaeology and anthropology. This historical study explores how researchers analysed Germanic and Celtic tribes from classical antiquity alongside newly discovered prehistoric peoples, employing methods ranging from language breakdown and artefact excavation to skull measurement and ethnographic observation. The book analyses how these scientific endeavours became deeply nationalised processes, with institutional development tied to national frameworks and findings interpreted as having profound implications for understanding national origins and racial identity. Part of the Routledge Studies in Cultural History series, this work investigates the intersection of scientific enquiry and nationalist ideology during a formative period of European scholarship, revealing how academic disciplines shaped and reflected broader cultural narratives about ancestry and belonging.
