The 'racial state' has become a familiar shorthand for the Third
Reich, encapsulating its raison d'etre, ambitions, and the
underlying logic of its genocidal violence. The Nazi racial state's
agenda is generally understood as a fundamental reshaping of
society based on a new hierarchy of racial value. However, this
volume argues that it is time to reappraise what race really meant
under Nazism, and to question and complicate its relationship to
the Nazis' agenda, actions, and appeal. Based on a wealth of new
research, the contributors show that racial knowledge and racial
discourse in Nazi Germany were far more contradictory and disparate
than we have come to assume. They shed new light on the ways that
racial policy worked and was understood, and consider race's
function, content, and power in relation to society and nation, and
above all, in relation to the extraordinary violence unleashed by
the Nazis.
