Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-first Century
- Used Book in Good Condition
This groundbreaking book by the acclaimed Dorothy Roberts examines how the myth of biological concept of race—revived by purportedly cutting-edge science, race-specific drugs, genetic testing, and DNA databases—continues to undermine a just society and promote inequality in a supposedly “post-racial†era. Named one of the ten best black nonfiction books 2011 by AFRO.com, Fatal Invention offers a timely and “provocative analysis†(Nature) of race, science, and politics by one of the nation’s leading legal scholars and social critics.
