IDEAS OF RACE IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMANITIES ...

This volume is concerned with the hitherto neglected role of the humanities in the histories of
the idea of race. Its aim is to begin to fill in this significant lacuna. If  in the decades
following World War II and the Holocaust - years that witnessed European decolonization and the
African-American civil rights movement - the concept of 'race' slowly but surely lost its
legitimacy as a cultural  political and scientific category  for much of the nineteenth and the
first half of the twentieth century concepts of race enjoyed widespread currency in numerous
fields of knowledge such as the history of art  history  musicology  or philosophy. Bringing
together some of the most distinguished scholars in their respective fields  this is the first
collective attempt to address the history of notions of race in the humanities as a whole.
