Renowned scholars Jean-Frédéric Schaub and Silvia Sebastiani provide the first complete history of race and racialization. Returning to the dawn of the Renaissance, they trace the origins of race to a much earlier era than typically acknowledged, then show how markers of “impurity†transformed as Enlightenment thinkers justified colonization.
