| Abstract |
Featuring essays by noted anthropologists and photos from the American Anthropological Association's "RACE: Are We So Different?" project, this book explores how the notion of race has changed throughout history, as well as contemporary experiences of race and racism in the United States; how race and racism have influenced laws, customs, and social institutions; and how current scientific understanding is often inconsistent with popular beliefs about race. |
