Beskrivning

Anthropological race classifiers produced parallel geographies, histories and hierarchies of European peoples that were crucial to the creation of national identities and to the overtly political race discourses of eugenics and popular racist ideologues. Racial national character stereotypes meanwhile supported competing political ideologies.
