With a rare blend of learning, economy, and cutting insight, George Fredrickson surveys the history of Western racism from its emergence in the late Middle Ages to the present, and makes the first sustained comparison between the colour-coded racism of nineteenth-century America and the anti-Semitic racism that appeared in Germany around the same time.
This illuminating work is the first to treat racism across such a sweep of history and geography, and is distinguished by it original conception of modern racism's two most significant varieties - white supremacy and anti-Semitism.
