PDF-(READ)-Bone Rooms: From Scientific Racism to Human Prehistory in Museums

In 1864 a US army doctor dug up the remains of a Dakota man who had been killed in Minnesota Carefully recording his observations he sent the skeleton to a museum in Washington DC that was collecting human remains for research In the bone rooms of this museum and others like it a scientific revolution was unfolding that would change our understanding of the human body race and prehistoryIn Bone Rooms Samuel Redman unearths the story of how human remains became highly soughtafter artifacts for both scientific research and public display Seeking evidence to support new theories of human evolution and racial classification collectors embarked on a global competition to recover the best specimens of skeletons mummies and fossils The Smithsonian Institution built the largest collection of human remains in the United States edging out stiff competition from natural history and medical museums springing up in cities and on university campuses across America When the San Diego Museum of Man opened in 1915 it mounted the largest exhibition of human skeletons ever presented to the publicThe study of human remains yielded discoveries that increasingly discredited racial theory as a consequence interest in human origins and evolutionignited by ideas emerging in the budding field of anthropologydisplaced race as the main motive for building bone rooms Today debates about the ethics of these collections continue but the terms of engagement were largely set by the surge of collecting that was already waning by World War II.

For those interested in prehistoric humans and their culture. Previously published as the first volume of The Encyclopedia of Global Human Migration, this work is devoted exclusively to prehistoric migration, covering all periods and places from the first hominin migrations out of Africa through the end of prehistory. Presents interdisciplinary coverage of this topic, including scholarship from the fields of archaeology, anthropology, genetics, biology, linguistics, and more Includes contributions from a diverse international team of authors, representing 17 countries and a variety of disciplines Divided into two sections, covering the Pleistocene and Holocene each section examines human migration through chapters that focus on different regional and disciplinary lenses Eduardo Bonilla-Silva s acclaimed Racism without Racists documents how beneath our contemporary conversation about race lies a full-blown arsenal of arguments, phrases, and stories that whites use to account for and ultimately justify racial inequalities. This provocative book explodes the belief that America is now a color-blind society. The fourth edition adds a chapter on what Bonilla-Silva calls the new racism, which provides the essential foundation to explore issues of race and ethnicity in more depth. This edition also updates Bonilla-Silva s assessment of race in America after President Barack Obama s re-election. Obama s presidency, Bonilla-Silva argues, does not represent a sea change in race relations, but rather embodies disturbing racial trends of the past. In this fourth edition, Racism without Racists will continue to challenge readers and stimulate discussion about the state of race in America today. Session 7 – .
