Remapping Race in a Global Context

"""Lorusso and Winther’s volume offers a timely intervention in discussions of biological aspects of racial identity. Including well-written essays by scholars at the forefront of biological, social, and medical debates about the nature, role, and value of racial classification, it is a compact introduction to central arguments about the nature of racial diversity."" Helen Longino, Stanford University, USA ""The editors gathered an impressive interdisciplinary team of experts, biologists (Nielsen, Edwards), philosophers of science or metaphysicians (Hochmann, Brandon, Spencer, etc), of social scientists or medical ethicists, whose collaboration in this book achieves a real cartography of the question of race, and advances its understanding. Pluralist, well informed, rigorous, innovative in all of its contributions, this book is a must read for any philosopher, social scientist, physician or biologist concerned with the question of race today, the legitimacy of any race talk, and the role it can play at the intersection of ethics, medicine, politics, science and metaphysics."" Philippe Huneman, Institut d’Histoire et de Philosophie des Sciences et des Techniques (CNRS), France ""Overall, this is a very interesting collection that clearly shows when it comes to questions about race the answers are not clear-cut, or of the black-or-white kind."" - Kostas Kampourakis, Biology, University of Geneva"
