Recenzii
"What becomes clear from reading the chapters in this volume is just how important it is to employ a social constructivist lens to view the new narratives surrounding genomic science. So while the editors of Reconsidering Race maintain that the social sciences would do better to adapt their frameworks to encompass knowledge learned from genomics, the many rich contributions to this volume actually show that the hard sciences could stand to learn something from the social sciences." - Perspectives on Politics
"[This] volume delivers quite effectively on its promise to broaden the conversation about race and science beyond Euro-American bordersâa true strength of the collection." - American Journal of Human Biology
"When social scientists and humanists fail to engage the discourses of the sciences, both scientists and the general public are left without the broader context of meaning that we all need in order to understand the stakes of urgent medical questions or of revelations about the human genome and what these might portend for our personal and shared futures. This collection of essays represents the promise of meaningful colloquy across the disciplines, bringing together some of our most gifted scholars to think about new ways to place science and the humanities in conversation, and to expand and complicate our understanding of race on both an historical and global scale."- Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University, from the preface
"Reconsidering Race is a thoughtful and illuminating collection of essays that should be required reading for students and teachers alike. In this engaging volume, leading scholars in the social sciences, humanities, and biology address how genetics are reconfiguring our notions of relatedness and difference and reshaping the meaning of race. They show what's at stake are not only claims about who we are but also the paths we may take for addressing the continuing problems of racial or ethnic inequalities."-Catherine Lee, author of Fictive Kinship
"This estimable volume productively interrupts some of our most dearly-held convictions about the relationship between race and genetics, taking the genomics turn as an opportunity to rigorously reexamine and adapt existing social science paradigms."-Alondra Nelson, author of The Social Life of DNA: Race, Reparations, and Reconciliation After the Genome
