Decoding Racial Ideology in Genomics

by Johnny E. Williams

Book Overview

Although the human genome exists apart from society, genomicists' thinking is informed by their inability to escape the wake of the "race" concept. The book reveals that genomicists' preoccupation with race--regardless of good or ill intent--contributes to its perception as a category of differences that is scientifically rigorous.
