Racism

In this audiobook, narrated by John Chancer, George Fredrickson offers a comprehensive exploration of the history of racism from the late Middle Ages to the present. He delves into the emergence and evolution of racist ideologies, examining the connections between antisemitism and white supremacy, and how factors like European expansionism and Enlightenment thought shaped these beliefs. Fredrickson provides a nuanced comparison of nineteenth-century racial dynamics in America and antisemitic racism in Germany, while also addressing the rise and fall of overtly racist regimes in the twentieth century. This work stands out for its depth and clarity in discussing the complex history and geography of racism.
