Overview
Racism has existed throughout the world for centuries and has been at the root of innumerable conflicts and human tragedies, including war, genocide, slavery, bigotry, and discrimination. Defined broadly, racism has had many forms and effects, from caste prejudice in India and mass extermination in Tasmania to slavery in the Americas and the Holocaust in Europe. Put simply, racism has been one of the overriding forces in world history. Racism, however, is not monolithic: It has taken many different shapes and has varied widely from place to place and era to era. This reader provides a global perspective of racism in its myriad forms and includes original documents, scholarly essays, and journalistic accounts.Book Details
