a history

Series looking at how racism impacts on people's lives : 1. This edition examines how ideas of racial difference have evolved in response to historical events ------ 2. The 19th century began with the abolitionist's credo 'Am I a not a man and a brother', but ended with racial genocide in Africa. The scientific racism that was born in the middle years of the century justified the violence of colonialism and, when fused with Darwinism, even excused genocide. These same racial theories lived on into the 20th century to become part of the ideology that underpinned the Third Reich ----- 3. The impact of racism in the 20th century and how slavery in the Belgian Congo and racial segregation in the US have shaped society in the modern world
