Description

Explore the historical origins of racial classification in mid-Victorian England with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how new racial categories based on skin color were invented and expanded during a transformative period in British history. It traces the shift from the decline of Biblical monogenesis in the early nineteenth century to the rise of polygenetic and racialist theories. Readers will understand how these racial categories were imposed upon humanity before the development of modern genetics in the twentieth century. This text provides a deep look into how the concept of race gained popularity in England and how it influenced the human sciences. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the evolution of modern Western racial thought and the social history of Great Britain.
