Fatal Invention

byDorothy E. Roberts

Genres: Economics Sociology Politics

Who is this book for? Readers interested in social justice, race relations, and the implications of genetic research on society.

Topics Race and PrejudiceSocial JusticePower

MoodReflective, Tense

Female protagonist

A decade after the Human Genome Project proved that human beings are not naturally divided by race, scientists are attempting to resuscitate race as a biological category. In this provocative analysis, leading legal scholar and social critic Dorothy Roberts argues that America is once again at the brink of a virulent outbreak of classifying population by race. By searching for differences at the molecular level, a new race-based science is obscuring racism in society and legitimising state brutality against communities at a time when America claims to be post-racial.
