Superior

The Return of Race Science

Angela Saini

Explore the disturbing re-emergence of scientific research into biological racial differences in Superior. Angela Saini unveils the story of intellectual racists and segregationists who quietly founded journals and funded research, providing shoddy studies that were ultimately cited in infamous titles like The Bell Curve. Despite race being a social construct, many contemporary scientists still cling to the idea that race is biologically real. Superior exposes the insidious and destructive nature of race science and reminds us that, biologically, we are all far more alike than different.

A book I *highly* recommend is Superior by Angela Saini, a Guardian writer who brilliantly dissects and analyzes race and gender dynamics.      source
