Book Synopsis
And Race raises a difficult practical question: What price do we place on our political traditions, institutions, and civic arrangements? This ambitious volume reexamines old questions in new ways that will stimulate a wide readership.

Trade Review
A remarkable achievement, and one of the most important books ever published on this subject. New Statesman In a sweeping and ambitious survey of the concept of race from the ancient world to the 20th century, Ivan Hannaford argues that the modern notion of the term is misconstrued. Times Educational Supplement This book, the life's work of its late author, Ivan Hannaford, sets out to trace the development of the concept of race-how and when it evolved-as we understand it today in western civilization... The work is enormously learned, quoting liberally from authors spanning 2,500 years and packed with insightful and nuanced readings. -- David M. Goldenberg International Journal of the Classical Tradition
