Investigating the reality and significance of racial categories,
Remapping Race in a Global Context examines the role of race in
human genomics, biomedicine, and struggles for social justice
around the world. In this book, biologists, anthropologists,
historians, and philosophers inspect critical questions around the
biological reality of race and how it has been understood in
different national and regional contexts. The essays also examine
debates on the usefulness of race in medical and epidemiological
studies. With a focus on the fields of human genomics and
biomedicine, this book presents critical findings on whether and
how race might be ethically and epistemologically justified in our
age of personalized medicine, mass surveillance, and biased
algorithms. The book will be of interest to researchers and
advanced students in a broad range of scientific and humanistic
disciplines, including biology, anthropology, geography,
philosophy, cultural or community studies, critical race theory,
and any field concerned with the deep racial dividing lines running
across societies globally.
