We aim to denaturalize the modernist scientific concept of race by means of a dual historical strategy: tracking the emergence of the concept in western Europe at the end of the eighteenth century, its subsequent normalization, and its practical deployment in Oceanic contexts; and exposing the tensions, inconsistencies, and instability of rival discourses. Under the broad rubrics of dereifying race and decentring Europe, these essays make several distinctive and innovative contributions. First, they locate the formulation of particular racial theories and the science of race generally at the intersections of metropolitan biology or anthropology and encounters in the field a relatively recent strategy in the history of ideas. We neither dematerialize ideas as purely abstract and discursive nor reduce them to social relations and politics, but ground them personally and circumstantially in embodied human interactions."--Provided by publisher. 530 Also available in an electronic format via the Internet at the publisher's home page: http://epress.anu.edu.au. 650 0 Racism |xHistory. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008110368 650 0 Ethnic relations. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045182 650 0 Race |xSocial aspects. 651 0 Oceania |xRace relations. 651 0 Australia |xRace relations |xHistory. 700 1 Douglas, Bronwen. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no99040971 700 1 Ballard, Chris, |d1963- |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n97084755 902 dls |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20110511 904 sla |bo |hm |cb |e20110325 914 (OCoLC)ocn271671442 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f271671442 956 41 |3Table of contents only |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0904/2009459186.html
