A deep epistemological change took place in Europe in this domain toward the end of the eighteenth century, producing new scientific representations of race and thereby triggering a radical transformation in the visual economy relating to race and racial representation and its inscription in the body. These practices would play defining roles in shaping public consciousness and the representation of \"otherness\" in modern societies. \u003cem\u003eThe Invention of Race\u003c\/em\u003e provides contextualization that is often lacking in contemporary discussions on diversity, multiculturalism and race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Bancel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415743931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415743938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Nicolas Bancel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064954073343,"sku":"9780415743938","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41baa96c-8a62-473d-921a-496b81870c11.jpg?v=1768672154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-invention-of-race-nicolas-bancel-9780415743938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
