HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST - ADAM RUTHERFORD KA...

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK  'The ultimate anti-racism
guide' Caroline Criado Perez 'Seriously important' Bill Bryson 'A fascinating debunking of
racial pseudoscience' Guardian  Race is real because we perceive it  Racism is real because we
enact it  But the appeal to science to strengthen racist ideologies is on the rise - and
increasingly part of the public discourse on politics  migration  education  sport and
intelligence  Stereotypes and myths about race are expressed not just by overt racists  but
also by well-intentioned people whose experience and cultural baggage steer them towards views
that are not supported by the modern study of human genetics  Even some scientists are
uncomfortable expressing opinions deriving from their research where it relates to race  Yet 
if understood correctly  science and history can be powerful allies against racism  granting
the clearest view of how people actually are  rather than how we judge them to be  HOW TO ARGUE
WITH A RACIST is a vital manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human evolution
and variation  and a timely weapon against the misuse of science to justify bigotry
