de [name missing] · Publicada por primera vez en 2003

"Contributors analyze essentialism and the history of the concept of race, ideas of race in the work of 19th- and 20th-century psychologists, psychological discourse on topics such as "mixed-race" people, political uses of racial research, and international perspectives on psychology and race. They also examine the prominence and persistence of American research on racial differences in intelligence as well as the work of Kenneth Bancroft Clark and Horace Mann Bond in combating racism in science and society. This important volume increases readers' understanding of the link between racial studies and social attitudes in our time and, at the same time, provides a comprehensive examination of that link throughout history."--Jacket.
