Book excerpt: Race is our age's great taboo. Public intellectuals insist that it does not exist-that it's a "social construct" and biological differences between races are trivial or "skin deep." But as with taboos in other times, our attitude towards race seems delusional and schizophrenic. Racial differences in sports and culture are clear to everyone. Race is increasingly a factor in public health, especially in disease susceptibility and organ donation. And in a globalized world, ethnic nationalism-and ethnic conflict-are unavoidable political realities. Race is everywhere . . . and yet it's nowhere, since the topic has been deemed "out of bounds" for frank discussion. Cutting through the contradictions, euphemisms, and misconceptions, Edward Dutton carefully and systematically refutes the arguments against the concept of "race," demonstrating that it is as much a proper biological category as "species."Making Sense of Race takes us on a journey through the fascinating world of evolved physical and mental racial differences, presenting us with the most up-to-date discoveries on the consistent ways in which races differ in significant traits as a result of being adapted to different ecologies. Intelligence, personality, genius, religiousness, sex appeal, puberty, menopause, ethnocentrism, ear-wax, and even the nature of dreams . . . Making Sense of Race will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about race, but might have been afraid to ask. --- Edward Dutton is a prolific researcher and commentator, who has published widely in the field of evolutionary psychology. He is Editor at Washington Summit Publishers and Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at Asbiro University in Lódź, Poland. Dutton is the author of many books, including J. Philippe Rushton: A Life History Perspective (2018), Race Differences in Ethnocentrism (2019), and Islam: An Evolutionary Perspective (2020). ---- Praise for Edward Dutton and Making Sense of Race "Edward Dutton's new book, Making Sense of Race, is a godsend at a time when the university curriculum effectively censors human nature from much of the humanities and social sciences. This information, which comes wrapped in prodigious layers of data, is presented in a highly accessible, often funny, style. It should be required reading for all students of anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and politics. Those thirsting for knowledge about race-an inescapable and ever more destabilizing feature of our globalizing world -should dip into this Jolly Heretic of a book. Whether laughing out loud or marveling at new facts about human biodiversity, Making Sense of Race is a riveting read." -Dr. Frank Salter Author of On Genetic Interests: Family, Ethnicity, and Humanity in an Age of Mass Migration "Edward Dutton is one of the liveliest and most engaging of this new generation of academic dissidents. . . . [He is] what Bill Nye the Science Guy would be, if that gentleman dared to present the human sciences with uninhibited objectivity." -John Derbyshire
Download or read book Us Against Them written by Donald R. Kinder and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnocentrism—our tendency to partition the human world into in-groups and out-groups—pervades societies around the world. Surprisingly, though, few scholars have explored its role in political life. Donald Kinder and Cindy Kam fill this gap with Us Against Them, their definitive explanation of how ethnocentrism shapes American public opinion. Arguing that humans are broadly predisposed to ethnocentrism, Kinder and Kam explore its impact on our attitudes toward an array of issues, including the war on terror, humanitarian assistance, immigration, the sanctity of marriage, and the reform of social programs. The authors ground their study in previous theories from a wide range of disciplines, establishing a new framework for understanding what ethnocentrism is and how it becomes politically consequential. They also marshal a vast trove of survey evidence to identify the conditions under which ethnocentrism shapes public opinion. While ethnocentrism is widespread in the United States, the authors demonstrate that its political relevance depends on circumstance. Exploring the implications of these findings for political knowledge, cosmopolitanism, and societies outside the United States, Kinder and Kam add a new dimension to our understanding of how democracy functions.

Download or read book Beyond the Notion of Race written by J. M. Montenero and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2001 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.M. Montenero's new book Beyond the Notion of Race addresses the single most important hurdle facing humanity's struggle against racism: the challenge of how to truly move beyond the social confines of racial behaviorism. The progression of globalization, immigration, integration, interracialism, miscegenation, multiculturalism and discoveries in human sciences have contributed to a growing body of evidence supporting the view that the concept of 'race' is more problematic than practical to the conventional social interplay of identity politics. While many people speak of 'tolerance' and 'class' as the means for overcoming the anti-social politics of racism, this book goes beyond the realm of tolerance, and exposes how conventional approaches to identity politics have only served to institutionalize social myths that undermine individuality and understanding. The book offers a definitive study on the topic of racial behaviorism and its motivations, clearly defining how and why people interpret, identify, classify, relate to and disassociate from one another by reason of color. In doing so, it delivers comprehensive insight on the psycho-dynamics of anti-social type behavior, in terms of defining what constitutes racial behaviorism, how and why it occurs, and it's affects in shaping society, both consciously and unconsciously. Further motives of Beyond the Notion of Race are to examine the correlation between the physiological & psychological responses of humans in relation to corporeal and sociological experiences. It looks in-depth at how humanity's sensory conditioned relationship to color, in terms of symbolism and values systems versus concepts of ethnicity and group membership, have manipulated the psychological direction of a person's interpretations of their daily social experiences. More extensively, this text illuminates upon how various visual mediums, like motion pictures, television news and entertainment programming and the Internet, can affect the racial consciousness of it's viewers. Social identity is discussed at length, analyzing scientific, religious and ethnical perspectives of inter and intra-group identity as it pertains to the notion of race, ethnicity, evolution, genealogy, immigration, and culture. An explicit look is taken at the sociological circumstances surrounding people of multi-racial backgrounds in an unavoidably convergent, yet socially polarized global society. The book also explores those more elusive behavioral conditions that foster circumscribing experiences of racialized mobility and class differences in education and business, and discuses scholastic deterioration, affirmative action, globalizing market dynamics, and community living. This compilation subsequently reveals what institutionalized rejection does to personal aspirations when severed from the mainstream, how it backlashes upon the ruling-class, and to identify with anti-productive behaviors associated with disenfranchisement, as well as to look at the socioeconomic repercussions of residential polarization, ghettoization, and gentrification.

Download or read book Transcending Racial Barriers written by Michael O. Emerson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent progress against racial inequalities, American society continues to produce attitudes and outcomes that reinforce the racial divide. In Transcending Racial Barriers, Michael Emerson and George Yancey offer a fresh perspective on how to combat racial division. They document the historical move from white supremacy to institutional racism, then look at modern efforts to overcome the racialized nature of our society. The authors argue that both conservative and progressive approaches have failed, as they continually fall victim to forces of ethnocentrism and group interest. They then explore group interest and possible ways to account for the perspectives of both majority and minority group members. They look to multiracial congregations, multiracial families, the military, and sports teams-all situations in which group interests have been overcome before. In each context they find the development of a core set of values that binds together different racial groups, along with the flexibility to express racially-based cultural uniqueness that does not conflict with this critical core.Transcending Racial Barriers offers what is at once a balanced approach towards dealing with racial alienation and a bold step forward in the debate about the steps necessary to overcome present-day racism.

Download or read book Psychology and Race written by Peter Watson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 811 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the problems of race relations are worldwide, the international origins and perspectives of this excellent and timely book are especially advantageous. More research has been done in the United States than elsewhere on the psychology of race relations, so it is appropriate that a plurality of the chapters of this book are by American authors--a stellar group that includes leading contributors to our contemporary knowledge of the topic. Contributors from the English-speaking Commonwealth countries are next in number, followed by authors from the United Kingdom, where race-related issues have only recently become a salient concern of politics and social ethics. The editor has assigned topics to his carefully chosen author-experts not by country or region, but by matching the expertise of each author against a need for coherent analysis of the important aspects of aepsychology and race.'Psychology and Race is divided into two major parts. The first half of the book looks at the interracial situation itself. The first section concentrates on the majority or dominant group, and describes the development and measurement of racial awareness and prejudice and techniques for reducing prejudice; the second section focuses on the reactions of subordinate or minority groups; and the third deals with specific aspects of interpersonal interaction-attitudes, behavior, and performance--when the people concerned are of different races. The book also looks at those areas of life where race is relevant and where psychology can help in an understanding of the situation.The scope of this volume, the distinction of its authors, and the hardheaded sense of reality it brings to the discussion of these extremely complex issues will make it an invaluable resource not only for teachers and students but also for everyone concerned in any way with this most pressing issue of our times.
