This edited collection explores the genesis of scientific
conceptions of race and their accompanying impact on the taxonomy
of human collections internationally as evidenced in ethnographic
museums, world fairs, zoological gardens, international colonial
exhibitions and ethnic shows. A deep epistemological change took
place in Europe in this domain toward the end of the eighteenth
century, producing new scientific representations of race and
thereby triggering a radical transformation in the visual economy
relating to race and racial representation and its inscription in
the body. These practices would play defining roles in shaping
public consciousness and the representation of "otherness" in
modern societies. The Invention of Race provides contextualization
that is often lacking in contemporary discussions on diversity,
multiculturalism and race.
