Common categories like \"Black,\" \"white,\" and \"Asian\" do not represent genetic differences among groups. But if race is a pernicious fiction according to natural science, it is all too significant in the day-to-day lives of racialised people across the globe. Inequities in health, wealth, and an array of other life outcomes cannot be explained without referring to \"race\"—but their true source is racism. What do we need to know about the pseudoscience of race in order to fight racism and fulfil human potential?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, two distinguished scientists tackle common misconceptions about race, human biology, and racism. Using an accessible question-and-answer format, Joseph L. Graves Jr. and Alan H. Goodman explain the differences between social and biological notions of race. Although there are many meaningful human genetic variations, they do not map onto socially constructed racial categories. Drawing on evidence from both natural and social science, Graves and Goodman dismantle the malignant myth of gene-based racial difference. They demonstrate that the ideology of racism created races and show why the inequalities ascribed to race are in fact caused by racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGraves and Goodman provide persuasive and timely answers to key questions about race and racism for a moment when people of all backgrounds are striving for social justice. \u003cem\u003eRacism, Not Race\u003c\/em\u003e shows readers why antiracist principles are both just and backed by sound science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47427459678444,"sku":"9780231200677","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780231200677.jpg?v=1774767552"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/alan-h-goodman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
