Investigating the practice of science in the service of prejudice, this book brings to life the dark history of the Age of Democracy, where every step toward equality has found a parallel retreat into hierarchical dogma. In 1776, as some Amer. colonials proclaimed that all men are created equal, Johann Blumenbach, court physician to England¿s King George III, subdivided humanity into 5 unequal categories. This monumental work of popular history exposes the pivotal developments that have made stereotypes a persistent, common language. Moving across centuries & continents in 30 vignettes, the book uncovers the incubation of modern stereotypes in the halls of science & aesthetics & traces their materialization in the popular imagination.
