"Natural Hierarchies" adopts a highly original approach to trace
the emergence and development of social rank in our present-day
world. The author draws upon traditional methods used in the social
sciences, detailed accounts of historical events in Europe, the
Indian subcontinent, the Caribbean, and mainland America, to
illustrate how meanings of race and caste have been transformed
mainly through political struggles, and particularly in the context
of colonialism.
This new and highly provocative analysis looks at ideas of
hierarchy in the light of the latest historical, anthropological,
and sociological evidence to generate understanding of present
struggles in race and ethnic relations. It is a well-reasoned
account that illuminates the strong historical links between the
idea of hierarchy and concepts of race and caste.
