{"product_id":"what-we-now-know-about-michael-banton-9781782387176","title":"What We Now Know about Race and Ethnicity","description":"\u003cp\u003e Attempts of nineteenth-century writers to establish \"race\" as a biological concept failed after Charles Darwin opened the door to a new world of knowledge. Yet this word already had a place in the organization of everyday life and in ordinary English language usage. This book explains how the idea of race became so important in the USA, generating conceptual confusion that can now be clarified. Developing an international approach, it reviews references to \"race,\" \"racism,\" and \"ethnicity\" in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and comparative politics and identifies promising lines of research that may make it possible to supersede misleading notions of race in the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Banton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178238717X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782387176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Michael Banton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065814724863,"sku":"9781782387176","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_117cad03-3b2c-42cf-a499-4da2bee9f303.jpg?v=1768677461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-we-now-know-about-michael-banton-9781782387176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
