{"product_id":"the-cultivation-of-whiteness-warwick-anderson-9780465003051","title":"The Cultivation of Whiteness: Science, Health, and Racial Destiny in Australia","description":"In nineteenth-century Australia, the main commentators on race and biological differences were doctors. But the medical profession entertained serious anxieties about the possibility of \"racial denigration\" of the white population in the new land, and medical and social scientists violated ethics and principles in pursuit of a more homogenized Australia. \u003ci\u003eThe Cultivation of Whiteness\u003c\/i\u003e examines the notions of \"whiteness\" and racism, and introduces a whole new framework for discussion of the development of medicine and science. Warwick Anderson provides the first full account of the shocking experimentation in the 1920s and '30s on Aboriginal people of the central deserts -- the Australian equivalent of the infamous Tuskegee Experiment. Lucid and entertaining throughout, this pioneering historical survey of ideas will help to reshape debate on race, ethnicity, citizenship, and environment everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Warwick Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465003052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465003051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.72h x 6.14w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/07\/2003 pg. 59","brand":"Warwick Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919802695935,"sku":"9780465003051","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e7a94c4b-b883-4e9a-bf7e-eb582afa946b.jpg?v=1680811996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cultivation-of-whiteness-warwick-anderson-9780465003051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
