Superior: The Return of Race Science | By Angela Saini
Where did the idea of race come from, and what does it mean? In an age of identity politics, DNA ancestry testing, and the rise of the far-right, a belief in biological differences between populations is experiencing a resurgence. The truth is: race is a social construct. Our problem is we find this hard to believe.
In Superior, award-winning author Angela Saini investigates the concept of race, from its origins to the present day. Engaging with geneticists, anthropologists, historians, and social scientists from across the globe, Superior is a rigorous, much-needed examination of the insidious and destructive nature of the belief that race is real, and that some groups of people are superior to others.
