Race and Global Inequality

Catalog description

The idea of race has transcended the moment and location in which it was invented, has been exported around the world, and, in dynamic fashion, has variously influenced human relations. This broad and changing application of racial ideas is what makes race a "worldview." We will examine this worldview, and explore how much conceptions of race explain the inequality that we see among nations and peoples around the globe, both today and in the past.
