Race and racism are interconnected historically and in the modern
world. This connection is related to changing social, political,
and economic conditions that impact how we think of others and
ourselves. Race and racism are also connected to biological
discoveries that justify how we think of others and ourselves. The
main focus of this book is the examination of these connections. It
is argued that while both race and racism are social constructions,
the justification for racism changed as the definition and
attributes of races were modified to correspond with new
developments in biology and genetics. Whereas biological
discoveries are one side of this construction, changing social
situations represent the other. That is, racism also responds to
changing social, political, and economic conditions that alter its
justification. In addition, scientific constructions of race are
impacted by social factors that serve to direct the "scientific
disclosures" on human diversity. These factors form the context for
the intricate relationship between race and racism.
