Financial Times Book of the Year Telegraph Top 50 Books of the Year
Guardian Book of the Year New Statesman Book of the Year 'Roundly
debunks racism's core lie - that inequality is to do with genetics,
rather than political power' Reni Eddo-Lodge For millennia,
dominant societies have had the habit of believing their own people
to be the best, deep down: the more powerful they become, the more
power begins to be framed as natural, as well as cultural. When you
see how power has shaped the idea of race, then you can start to
understand its meaning. In the twenty-first century, we like to
believe that we have moved beyond scientific racism, that most
people accept race as a social construct, not a biological one. But
race science is experiencing a revival, fuelled by the misuse of
science by certain political groups. Even well-intentioned
scientists, through their use of racial categories in genetics and
medicine, betray their suspicion that race has some basis in
biology. In truth, it is no more real than it was hundreds of years
ago, when our racial hierarchies were devised by those in power. In
Superior, award-winning author Angela Saini explores the concept of
race, from its origins to the present day. Engaging with
geneticists, anthropologists, historians and social scientists from
across the globe, Superior is a rigorous, much needed examination
of the insidious and destructive nature of race science.
