Race And Erudition
19th century theories of race were meant to provide a comprehensive account of the history and evolution of civilizations. What they produced instead were the modern foundations for prejudice and its politics. The author investigates the links between erudition and race, showing the affinities between the social sciences and the concept of 'race'.
