Scientific Racism in Modern South Africa

Focusing on the evolution of intellectual and scientific racism in modern South Africa, this comprehensive study explores the rise of scientific racism and biological determinism from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. It examines how these theories intertwined with the emergence of apartheid and white supremacist ideologies. By comparing South African developments with similar trends in Europe and the U.S., the author highlights the selective adoption of racial concepts within South Africa's unique historical context, making it relevant for scholars of racism globally.
