<dc:description xml:lang="en">The book addresses the challenges in historicizing scientific racism and the battle against it. The intellectual biographies of scholars who, like Blumenbach, were uncompromising fighters against the main political embodiment of racism in their time, but whose ideas were employed by overt racists later, bring about the question of the driving forces behind the mutually opposed political affiliations of scientists. The contributors revise approaches to the historical legacy of Enlightenment scholars in terms of nuances to our understanding of intellectual responsibility for the reproduction of race-informed thought.</dc:description>

  
<dc:description xml:lang="de">Das Buch befasst sich mit den Herausforderungen der Historisierung des wissenschaftlichen Rassismus und dem Kampf dagegen. Die Biografien von Wissenschaftlern, die wie Blumenbach kompromisslose Kämpfer gegen die wichtigste politische Verkörperung des Rassismus ihrer Zeit waren, deren Ideen jedoch später von offenen Rassisten aufgegriffen wurden, werfen die Frage nach den treibenden Kräften hinter den gegensätzlichen politischen Zugehörigkeiten von Wissenschaftlern auf. Die Autoren überprüfen das historische Erbe der Gelehrten der Aufklärung im Hinblick auf Nuancen unseres Verständnisses der intellektuellen Verantwortung für die Reproduktion rassenbezogenen Denkens.</dc:description>
