David Bindman looks at race in general, but with particular concentration on attitudes toward and representations of people of African and Jewish descent. He argues that behind all racial ideas of the period lies the belief that outward appearance--and especially skull shape, as studied in the pseudoscience of phrenology--can be correlated with inner character and intelligence, and that these could be used to create a seemingly scientific hierarchy of races. The book considers many aspects of these beliefs, including the skull as a racial marker; ancient Egypt as a precedent for Southern slavery; Darwin, race, and aesthetics; the purported \"Mediterranean race\"; the visual aspects of eugenics; and the racial politics of Emil Nolde.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bindman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789146968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789146967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.30d","brand":"David Bindman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080365437183,"sku":"9781789146967","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46337ab5-412b-4ba1-86ee-b0bba1bd574c.jpg?v=1685486400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-is-everything-david-bindman-9781789146967","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
