The Race Makers

Opis
In the early eighteenth century, Christianity began to lose its hold on the story of humankind. Yet ingrained xenophobia, religious intolerance and emerging biological ideas did not simply disappear. Instead, secular thinkers reshaped them as they looked to redefine what it meant to be human. By century's end, naturalists and philosophers had categorised humanity into races using Enlightenment-era ideas and methods.
In The Race Makers, Enlightenment specialist Andrew S. Curran traces the emergence of race through thirteen pivotal figures, including Louis XIV, Buffon, Carl Linnaeus, Voltaire, David Hume, Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant and Thomas Jefferson. From the gilded halls of Versailles to the slave plantations of the Caribbean, and from the court of the Mughal Empire to the drawing rooms of Monticello, Curran reveals how the pursuit of knowledge became entangled with - and often drove - systems of empire and oppression. The result is a bold reappraisal of the Enlightenment's most celebrated luminaries.
Combining rigorous scholarship with vivid storytelling, The Race Makers delivers a sweeping and unsettling account of the origins of modern concepts of race - and why they continue to matter today.
