Description
In this urgent investigation, Angela Saini traces the troubling history of race science and examines how claims of biological racial difference have persisted—and are being revived—in the modern world. Drawing on science, history, politics, art, and personal reflection, she reveals how bias has shaped research into human origins, bodies, intelligence, and identity. With clarity and intellectual rigor, the book exposes the ways scientific language can be repurposed to legitimize old hierarchies and contemporary racism. It is both a penetrating critique of scientific prejudice and a powerful warning about the consequences of allowing discredited ideas to return in new forms.
