Aprašymas
The term 220;Caucasian 8221; is a curious invention of the modern age. Originating in 1795, the word identifies both the peoples of the Caucasus Mountains region as well as those thought to be 8220;Caucasian 8221;. Bruce Baum explores the history of the term and the category of the 8220;Caucasian race 8221; more broadly in the light of the changing politics of racial theory and notions of racial identity. With a comprehensive sweep that encompasses the understanding of "race" even before the use of the term 8220;Caucasian,8221; Baum traces the major trends in scientific and intellectual understandings of 8220;race 8221; from the Middle Ages to the present day.Baum 8217;s conclusions make an unprecedented attempt to separate modern science and politics from a long history of racial classification. He offers significant insights into our understanding of race and how the 8220;Caucasian race 8221; has been authoritatively invented, embraced, displaced, and recovered throughout our history.
