"Taking a comparative approach, this textbook is a concise introduction to race. Illustrated with detailed examples from around the world, it is organised into two parts. Part One explores the historical changes in ideas about race from the ancient world to the present day, in different corners of the globe. Part Two outlines the ways in which racial difference and inequality are perceived and enacted in selected regions of the world"-- Provided by publisher
