David Bindman looks at race in general, but with particular concentration on attitudes toward and representations of people of African and Jewish descent. He argues that behind all racial ideas is the belief that outward appearance - and especially skull shape, as studied in the pseudoscience of phrenology - can be correlated with inner character and intelligence, and that these could be used to create a seemingly scientific hierarchy of races. The book considers many aspects of these beliefs, including the skull as a racial marker; ancient Egypt as a precedent for Southern slavery; Darwin, race and aesthetics; the purported \u0026amp;#x27;Mediterranean race\u0026amp;#x27;; the visual aspects of eugenics; and the racial politics of Emil Nolde.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46857098297502,"sku":"ADS-9781789146967","price":57.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781789146967.jpg?v=1779154201","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781789146967","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
