About this product
Product Information
Modern science and ideas of race have long been entangled, sharing notions of order, classification, and hierarchy. Ordering the Human presents cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship that examines the racialization of science in various global contexts, illuminating how racial logics have been deployed to classify, marginalize, and oppress. These wide-ranging essays-written by experts in genetics, forensics, public health, history, sociology, and anthropology-investigate the influence of racial concepts in scientific knowledge production across regions and eras. Chapters excavate the mechanisms by which racialized science serves projects of power and domination, and they explore different forms of resistance. Topics range from skull collecting by eighteenth-century German and Dutch scientists to the use of biology to reinforce notions of purity in present-day South Korea and Brazil. The authors investigate the colonial legacies of the pathologization of weight for the Maori people, the scientific presumption of coronary artery disease risk among South Asians, and the role of racial categories in COVID-19 statistics and responses, among many other cases. Tracing the pernicious consequences of the racialization of science, Ordering the Human shines a light on how the naturalization of racial categories continues to shape health and inequality today.

Reviews
Ordering the Human is a remarkable gathering of essays that are at once individually compelling and collectively vital. This urgent, wide-ranging book highlights how racism intersects with science and medicine worldwide to shape our understandings of a wide range of contemporary health issues, to the detriment of us all. This excellent book is required reading for all students, practitioners, and people who desire a more healthy, equitable world, This remarkable collection of intellectually and geographically expansive essays makes an essential contribution to our understanding of contradictory ideas of human difference across space and time. Ordering the Human should be read by anyone seeking to make sense of the global entanglements of racialization in science and technology and their practical effects on research, clinical practice, and everyday life., It is easy for scholars to argue that "race" is a specific kind of concept located largely in Western science and medicine. The theoretically rich and broad geographical scope of this book brilliantly dispels such views. This is an indispensable contribution to our knowledge of the global reach of race concepts in modern biomedicine and science.
