For some antiracists, science holds the promise of one day providing indisputable evidence to help eradicate racism. On the other hand, science has been enlisted to promote racist beliefs ranging from a justification of slavery in the eighteenth century to the infamous twentieth-century book, \u003ci\u003eThe Bell Curve\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ewhose authors argued that racial differences in intelligence resulted in lower test scores for African Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This well-organized, readable textbook takes the reader through a chronological account of how and why racial categories were created and how the study of \"race\" evolved in multiple academic disciplines, including genetics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. In a bibliographic essay at the conclusion of each of the book's seven sections, the authors recommend primary texts that will further the reader's understanding of each topic. Heavily illustrated and enlivened with sidebar biographies, this text is ideal for classroom use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12048783\"\u003eJohn P.
