Racism, Not Race

In "Racism, Not Race," distinguished scientists Joseph L. Graves Jr. and Alan H. Goodman explore the misconceptions surrounding race and its impact on societal inequalities. They employ an accessible question-and-answer format to clarify that while meaningful human genetic variations exist, they do not align with socially constructed racial categories. Drawing from both natural and social sciences, the authors dismantle the myth of gene-based racial differences and reveal that the inequalities attributed to race stem from racism itself. This timely examination provides listeners with a scientific foundation for understanding and combating racism in the quest for social justice.
