'Race Is Everything' looks at ideas of 'racial science' in the
nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, and
how art was influenced by it. It looks at race in general, but with
a particular concentration on attitudes towards and representations
of people of African and Jewish descent. David Bindman argues that
behind all racial ideas is the belief that outward appearance, and
especially skull-shape, can be correlated with inner character and
intelligence, and that these could be used to create a seemingly
scientific hierarchy of races. The book considers many aspects,
including the skull as a racial marker; ancient Egypt as a
precedent for Southern slavery; Darwin, race and aesthetics; the
'Mediterranean race'; the visual aspects of eugenics; and the
racial politics of Emil Nolde.
