Racisms is the first comprehensive history of racism, from the
Crusades to the twentieth century. Demonstrating that there is not
one continuous tradition of racism, Francisco Bethencourt shows
that racism preceded any theories of race and must be viewed within
the prism and context of social hierarchies and local conditions.
In this richly illustrated book, Bethencourt argues that in its
various aspects, all racism has been triggered by political
projects monopolizing specific economic and social resources.
Racisms focuses on the Western world, but opens comparative views
on ethnic discrimination and segregation in Asia and Africa.
Bethencourt looks at different forms of racism, and explores
instances of enslavement, forced migration, and ethnic cleansing,
while analyzing how practices of discrimination and segregation
were defended. This is a major interdisciplinary work that moves
away from ideas of linear or innate racism and recasts our
understanding of interethnic relations.
