Racist pseudoscience is on the rise. Neo-Nazis and white supremacists are obsessed with genetics, as they believe it will prove their racial purity. But they donât know what theyâre talking about. Learn why in this timely, authoritative weapon against the misuse of science to justify bigotry. - Grand Central Pub
Race is not a biological reality.
Racism thrives on our not knowing this.
Racist pseudoscience has become so commonplace that it can be hard to spot. But its toxic effects on society are plain to seeâfeeding nationalism, fueling hatred, endangering lives, and corroding our discourse on everything from sports to intelligence. Even well-intentioned people repeat stereotypes based on âscience,â because cutting-edge genetics are hard to graspâand all too easy to distort. Paradoxically, these misconceptions are multiplying even as scientists make unprecedented discoveries in human geneticsâfindings that, when accurately understood, are powerful evidence against racism. Weâve never had clearer answers about who we are and where we come from, but this knowledge is sorely needed in our casual conversations about race.
How to Argue With a Racist emphatically dismantles outdated notions of race by illuminating what modern genetics actually can and canât tell us about human difference. We now know that the racial categories still dividing us do not align with observable genetic differences. In fact, our differences are so minute that, most of all, they serve as evidence of our shared humanity. - Workman Press.
