How To Argue With A Racist

Product Description

Race is real because we perceive it. Racism is real because we enact it. But the appeal to science to strengthen racist ideologies is on the rise
- & increasingly part of the public discourse on politics, migration, education, sport & intelligence. 

Stereotypes & myths about race are expressed not just by overt racists, but also by well-intentioned people whose experience & cultural baggage steer them towards views that are not supported by the modern study of human genetics.

Even some scientists are uncomfortable expressing opinions deriving from their research where it relates to race. 

Yet, if understood correctly, science & history can be powerful allies against racism, granting the clearest view of how people actually are, rather than how we judge them to be.

This is a vital manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human evolution & variation, & a timely weapon against the misuse of science to justify bigotry.
