Genetics and the Unsettled Past

The Collision of Dna, Race, and History

Herausgeber: Wailoo, Keith; Lee, Catherine; Nelson, Alondra

Beschreibung

Considers the alignment of genetic science with commercial trends in genealogy, with legal and forensic developments, and with pharmaceutical innovation to examine how these trends lend renewed authority to biological understandings of race and history. Essays by scholars across a wide range of disciplines explore the emerging and often contested connections among race, DNA, and history.
