Ashley Montagu, who first attacked the term "race" as a usable
concept in his acclaimed work, Man's Most Dangerous Myth, offers
here a devastating rebuttal to those who would claim any link
between race and intelligence.
In now classic essays, this thought-provoking volume critically
examines the terms "race" and "IQ" and their applications in
scientific discourse. The twenty-four contributors--including such
eminent thinkers as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Urie
Bronfenbrenner, W.F. Bodmer, and Jerome Kagan--draw on fields that
range from biology and genetics to psychology, anthropology, and
education. What emerges in piece after piece is a deep skepticism
about the scientific validity of intelligence tests, especially as
applied to evaluating innate intelligence, if only because
scientists still cannot distinguish between genetic and
environmental contributions to the development of the human mind.
Five new essays have been included that specifically address the
claims made in the recent, highly controversial book, The Bell
Curve.
Must reading for anyone interested in racism and education in
America, Race and IQ is a brilliantly lucid exploration of the
boundary line between race and intelligence.
