Is it possible to speak of western racism before the eighteenth
century? The term 'racism' is normally only associated with
theories, which first appeared in the eighteenth century, about
inherent biological differences that made one group superior to
another. In this book, however, leading historians argue that
racism can be traced back to the attitudes of the ancient Greeks to
their Persian enemies and that it was adopted, adjusted and
re-formulated by Europeans right through until the dawn of the
Enlightenment. From Greek teachings on environmental determinism
and heredity, through medieval concepts of physiognomy, down to the
crystallization of attitudes to Indians, Blacks, Jews and Gypsies
in the early modern era, they analyse the various routes by which
racist ideas travelled before maturing into murderous ideologies in
the modern western world. In so doing this book offers a major
reassessment of the place of racism in pre-modern European thought.
