Sebastián Gil-Riaño. The Remnants of Race Science: Unesco and Economic Development in the Global South
Michael Yudell. Race Unmasked: Biology and Race in the Twentieth Century
Michael Yudell’s Race Unmasked: Biology and Race in the Twentieth Century examines the twentieth-century history of the hereditary biological race concept. According to Yudell, the idea was invented by early-twentieth-century eugenicists, reformulated by anti-racist population geneticists at mid-century, and manipulated by racists throughout. In spite of growing recognition that race was not a useful or particularly meaningful biological category…

Miscegenation and Competing Definitions of Race in Twentieth-Century Louisiana
Marcus Bruce Christian, an author and professor at Dillard University, observed in the mid-nineteen-fifties that while New Orleans might be known for “gumbo, jambalaya, lagniappe, poor boy sandwiches, pralines, Mardi Gras and Creoles,” it also has “another claim to distinction which has not been bruited about very loudly.” New Orleans is a place, he wrote, where family lines “waver back and forth across color-lines like wet wash in a high March w…
Race, Racism, and Antiracism: Unesco and the Politics of Presenting Science to the Postwar Public
predominantly Western scientific establishment, a large number were newly committed to "breaking the bioscientific tie of race, blood, and culture" that had enabled wartime genocide and now threatened postwar unity. 3 Accordingly, the first project assembled experts in Paris to "define the concept of race" itself.The resulting statement went so far as to declare that race was more "social myth" than "biological fact," and the term might be dispen…

The Politics of Whiteness: Race, Workers, and Culture in the Modern South
The Politics of Whiteness presents the first sustained analysis of white racial identity among workers in what was the South's largest industry--the textile industry--for much of the twentieth century. Grounding her work in a study of Rome, Georgia, and surrounding Floyd County from the Great Depression to the 1970s, Michelle Brattain paints a richly textured local portrait of how the varied social benefits of whiteness shaped the experience of t…
Carpet Capital: The Rise of a New South Industry
After World War II, the carpet industry came to be identified with the Dalton region of northwest Georgia. Here, entrepreneurs hit upon a new technology called tufting, which enabled them to take control of this important segment of America's textile industry, previously dominated by woven-wool carpet manufacturers in the Northeast. Dalton now dominates carpet production in the United States, manufacturing 70 percent of the domestic product, and …
