This book explores how human population genetics has emerged as a
means of imagining and enacting belonging in contemporary society.
Venla Oikkonen approaches population genetics as an evolving set of
technological, material, narrative and affective practices, arguing
that these practices are engaged in multiple forms of belonging
that are often mutually contradictory. Considering scientific,
popular and fictional texts, with several carefully selected case
studies spanning three decades, the author traces shifts in the
affective, material and gendered preconditions of population
genetic visions of belonging. Topics encompass the debate about
Mitochondrial Eve, ancient human DNA, temporality and nostalgia,
commercial genetic ancestry tests, and tensions between continental
and national genetic inheritance. The book will be of particular
interest to scholars and students of science and technology
studies, cultural studies, sociology, and gender studies.
