Emphasizing the global nature of racism, this volume brings
together historians from various regional specializations to
explore this phenomenon from comparative and transnational
perspectives. The essays shed light on how racial ideologies and
practices developed, changed, and spread in Europe, Asia, the Near
East, Australia, and Africa, focusing on processes of transfer,
exchange, appropriation, and adaptation. To what extent, for
example, were racial beliefs of Western origin? Did similar belief
systems emerge in non-Western societies independently of Western
influence? And how did these societies adopt and adapt Western
racial beliefs once they were exposed to them? Up to this point,
the few monographs or edited collections that exist only provide
students of the history of racism with tentative answers to these
questions. More importantly, the authors of these studies tend to
ignore transnational processes of exchange and transfer. Yet, as
this volume shows, these are crucial to an understanding of the
diffusion of racial belief systems around the globe.
