Omschrijving
Ordering the Human presents cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship that examines the racialization of science in various global contexts, illuminating how racial logics have been deployed to classify, marginalize, and oppress.
Ordering the Human is a remarkable gathering of essays that are at once individually compelling and collectively vital. This urgent, wide-ranging book highlights how racism intersects with science and medicine worldwide to shape our understandings of a wide range of contemporary health issues, to the detriment of us all. This excellent book is required reading for all students, practitioners, and people who desire a more healthy, equitable world
It is easy for scholars to argue that “race” is a specific kind of concept located largely in Western science and medicine. The theoretically rich and broad geographical scope of this book brilliantly dispels such views. This is an indispensable contribution to our knowledge of the global reach of race concepts in modern biomedicine and science.
This remarkable collection of intellectually and geographically expansive essays makes an essential contribution to our understanding of contradictory ideas of human difference across space and time. Ordering the Human should be read by anyone seeking to make sense of the global entanglements of racialization in science and technology and their practical effects on research, clinical practice, and everyday life.
