Strange Fruit by Kenan Malik
In the past, scientific ideas of race reflected political ideas of inferiority and superiority, whereas it reflects contemporary notions of diversity. This title challenges both sides of the race debate. It discusses issues ranging from the science of skull measurement to the politics of the Holocaust.
"Society changes, science moves on, but race remains the most uneasy and confused of topicsCutting through the confusion, Kenan Malik's lucid and vivid account is essential reading for anybody who wants to think sensibly about race and human diversity." Marek Kohn, Journalist and author of The Race Gallery: The Return of Racial Science "Stripping away layers of pseudo-science and taken-for-granted prejudices, paying no dues to political correctness, he has written a penetrating critique." Adam Kuper, Professor of Anthropology, Brunel University, London "Kenan Malik delivers a withering critique of what he sees as the racial view of the world. In doing so his arguments are a challenge to all those who seek to better understand the continuing debates about race and racism in our changing global environment." John Solomos, Head of the Sociology Department, City University, London and author of Race and Racism in Britain (2003)
