This essential collection presents historical primary sources from the late medieval period to the mid-twentieth century, each paired with insightful essays by leading scholars who unpack their significance in shaping both racist and anti-racist ideologies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Moving chronologically, the volume explores classical humanism in the Renaissance, the discipline's ties to the transatlantic slave trade, and the global intersections of race and antiquity across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. Rather than treating Classics as a neutral intellectual pursuit, this work demonstrates how the field has long been entangled in broader struggles over identity and power. More relevant than ever, \u003ci\u003eClassics and Race\u003c\/i\u003e offers a vital historical foundation for ongoing debates about the role of antiquity in shaping modern racial discourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Derbew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800088124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800088122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e UCL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sarah Derbew","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927905554687,"sku":"9781800088122","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1cc08116-efda-405a-ad22-e88170332b9e.jpg?v=1749373334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classics-and-race-sarah-derbew-9781800088122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
