Ann Morning’s The nature of race. How scientists think and teach about human differences addresses three simple, yet intriguing questions: what do scientists mean exactly by the word race? What concept of race is propagated by US institutions involved in public education? And how are these concepts received and elaborated by lay people? There are both a professional and a personal side to these questions; Ann Morning is, as we read in the first pages of this book, a woman with an unusual aspect and an intricate genealogy. But does anybody on earth have a non-intricate genealogy?
Race is dead, racial prejudice is not.
