Racial and ethnic categories have appeared in recent scientific
work in novel ways and in relation to a variety of disciplines:
medicine, forensics, population genetics and also developments in
popular genealogy. Once again, biology is foregrounded in the
discussion of human identity. Of particular importance is the
preoccupation with origins and personal discovery and the
increasing use of racial and ethnic categories in social policy.
This new genetic knowledge, expressed in technology and practice,
has the potential to disrupt how race and ethnicity are debated,
managed and lived. As such, this volume investigates the ways in
which existing social categories are both maintained and
transformed at the intersection of the natural (sciences) and the
cultural (politics). The contributors include medical researchers,
anthropologists, historians of science and sociologists of race
relations; together, they explore the new and challenging landscape
where biology becomes the stuff of identity.
