Anthropology of Race: Genes, Biology, and Culture (School for Advanced Research Advanced Seminar Series)
Anthropology of Race examines the often disregarded intersectionality of genes, biology, and culture in the formation of race. With bold and innovative analysis, the authors challenge us to consider and then reconsider its biosocial and biocultural foundations. This volume creatively adds to the field a complex and provocative interpretation of the anthropology of race. --Lee D. Baker, Duke UniversityMukhopadyay and Moses urged anthropologists in the 1990s to look at the biocultural model as a way to unravel the racial paradigm in the United States. This exceptional, innovative, and carefully crafted volume follows that tradition and takes the notion of the biocultural model to a whole new theoretical and empirical level. It is a timely and very important volume for anthropology and for our society. --Yolanda T. Moses, UC RiversideA must-read for scientists and medical practitioners, this volume builds on the vitally important humanistic and social scientific work interrogating racial processes to deconstruct the popular categories that animate our understanding of human difference. --Deborah A. Thomas, University of PennsylvaniaRace is a complex subject...and this book makes a good start in formulating ways to continue a dialogue within anthropology and across other disciplines. --John H. Relethford, American Journal of Human BiologyA must-read for scientists and medical practitioners, this volume builds on the vitally important humanistic and social scientific work interrogating racial processes to deconstruct the popular categories that animate our understanding of human difference. --Deborah A.
