Bone rooms : from scientific racism to human prehistory in museums / by Redman, Samuel J.,author.(CARDINAL)404228;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-353) and index.Collecting bodies for science -- Salvaging race and remains -- The medical body on display -- The story of man through the ages -- Scientific racism and museum remains -- Skeletons and human prehistory."This book explores human remains as objects for research and display in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Influenced by early skull collectors such as Samuel George Morton, zealous scientists at museums in the United States established human skeletal collections. Museums such as the Smithsonian Institution, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Field Museum of Natural History established their own collections. Universities soon followed, with bones collected for Penn, Berkeley, and Harvard. American Indian remains collected from the American West arrived at museums at an increasingly fervent pace, and the project swiftly became global in scope. Coinciding with a high-water mark in Euro-American colonialism, collecting bones became a unique and evolving expression of colonialism experienced through archaeological, anthropological, and anatomical study of race and the body via work with human remains collections. In revealing this story, The Great Bone Race surveys shifts away from racial classification theories toward emerging ideas regarding human origins, arguing that the study of human remains contributed significantly to changing ideas about race and human history. These ideas were hotly contested, and competition to collect and exhibit rare human remains from around the world thrust ideas about race and history into the public realm through prominent museum displays visited by millions."--Provided by publisher.

Hayek's bastards : race, gold, IQ, and the capitalism of the far right / by Slobodian, Quinn,1978-Author(DLC)no2011145144;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-268) and index."How neoliberals turned to nature to defend inequality after the end of the Cold War. Neoliberals should have seen the end of the Cold War as a total victory-but they didn't. Instead, they saw the chameleon of communism changing colors from red to green. The poison of civil rights, feminism, and environmentalism ran through the veins of the body politic and they needed an antidote.To defy demands for equality, many neoliberals turned to nature. Race, intelligence, territory, and precious metal would be bulwarks against progressive politics. Reading and misreading the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they articulated a philosophy of three hards-hardwired human nature, hard borders, and hard money-and forged the alliances with racial psychologists, neoconfederates, ethnonationalists, and goldbugs that would become known as the alt-right. Following Hayek's bastards from Murray Rothbard to Charles Murray to Javier Milei, we find that key strains of the Far Right emerged within the neoliberal intellectual movement not against it. What has been reported as an ideological backlash against neoliberal globalization in recent years is often more of a frontlash. This history of ideas shows us that the reported clash of opposites is more like a family feud"--"The story of the American Right is often told as the fusion of the free market and religion. Yet recent decades have seen the rise of a new fusionism which turns to nature and science to defend naturalized inequality and the Social Darwinist virtues of competition"--.

Medicine, science, and making race in Civil War America / by Schwalm, Leslie A.(Leslie Ann),1956-author.(CARDINAL)888033;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 125-208) and index.Militarizing race -- Commissioning race -- Narrating and enumerating race -- Anatomizing race -- The afterlife of race."Diving deeply into the tables and statistics, specimens, skull collections, reports, questionnaires, and surveys that make up the recently organized and newly available records of the United States Sanitary Commission, Leslie A. Schwalm reveals the racial project of the Civil War as it unfolded in Northern white medical and scientific organizations. Despite the Civil War's importance as a watershed moment in the country's history of anti-Blackness, Union victory and the abolition of slavery did not dislodge the racial hierarchies and ideas about people of African descent that had existed before the war"--

The unseen truth : when race changed sight in America / by Lewis, Sarah Elizabeth,1979-author(CARDINAL)281757;
Includes bibliographical references and index"Sarah Lewis deciphers the hugely popular nineteenth-century images that failed to dislodge Americans' faith in the mythical white homeland of the Caucasus. Actual Caucasians little resemble race science's ideals of whiteness, so Americans learned to manipulate their visual regime-and visual media-to suppress evidence of race's incoherence."--
