Race: A History Beyond Black and White Teaching Guide
Excerpted from
Race: A History Beyond Black and White
Acclaimed young-adult historian Marc Aronson tackles questions about race in this astounding book, which traces the history of racial prejudice in Western culture back to ancient Sumer and beyond. He shows us Greeks dividing the world into civilized and barbarian, medieval men writing about the traits of monstrous men, until, finally, Enlightenment scientists scrap all those mythologies and come up with a new one: charts spelling out the traits of human races.
