The Victorian reinvention of race : new racisms and the problem of grouping in the human sciences

Description
In mid-Victorian England, there were new racial categories based upon skin colour. Exploring the changing attitudes towards race during this period, this book examines the extent to which the Gobineau-Bagehot-Darwin way of thinking about race-prejudice penetrated the minds of certain key colonial governors. Introduction : reinventing racism -- Tocqueville and race -- Gobineau, Bagehot's precursor -- The common sense of Walter Bagehot -- Bagehot rewrites Gobineau -- Darwin and race -- Argyll, race, and degeneration -- Frederick Weld and the unnamed neighbours -- By way of a conclusion : Arthur Gordon
