La racialisation du monde. De la modernité à nos jours, Régis Meyran

"How has the scientifically highly debatable notion of race been able to transform the world on a global scale from the 1850s to the present day? This book analyzes its emergence in the Age of Enlightenment and its political use from the mid-19th century to the present day. Particular attention is paid to the 1930s, when racialization affected not only Nazism and Fascism, but all European nations, colonial empires, the Americas and Asia. Régis Meyran shows how industrial modernity commandeered the notion of race as a tool of domination, while minorities seized upon it in their attempts to resist that domination. A groundbreaking synthesis of the political uses of the notion of race on a global scale". Michel Wieviorka, series editor For further information.
