Edited by Bernard Harris and Waltraud Ernst, both Lecturers at the University of Southampton<p><strong>'This is an important book. The papers, arranged chronologically, encompass a breathtaking range of topics, and highlight exactly how controversial and contested the definitions of race remain in contemporary social science research.'</strong> - <em>Medical History, Oct 2000</em><br /><br /><strong>'It is a well-written, well-researched collection examining a number of issues relevant not only to the social history of medicine but also to the history of race and science in Western Society.' - Angus Bancroft, University of Edinburgh </strong><em>Social History of Medicine</em><strong> [Vol. 14 No.1 2001]</strong><br /><br /><strong>'The individual contributions are mostly of high quality and some significantly extend our knowledge of how 'race' was constructed.'</strong> - <em>Ethnic and Racial Studies, Mark Harrison</em></p>
