Building on Renato Foschi’s Italian volume \u003cem\u003eStoria dei razzismi\u003c\/em\u003e (2022), this expanded English edition offers a unique synthesis of historical case studies and the underlying logics that have sustained racism across time and cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoschi distinguishes between spiritual and scientific racisms, tracing their development through religious, philosophical, and pseudo-scientific traditions. He examines how various groups—including Jewish communities, people of African descent, women, working-class individuals, and LGBTQ+ people—have been positioned as distinct “races” through shifting systems of exclusion. The book also explores lesser-known cases, such as the racialization of Southern Italians, to demonstrate how these dynamics operate within national and regional contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second half of the book focuses on resistance—how racialized communities have mobilized pride, solidarity, and intersectional alliances to challenge discrimination. The final chapter reflects on human biodiversity and the enduring misconceptions that continue to shape contemporary forms of racialization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its interdisciplinary scope and original theoretical framing, this book offers essential tools for understanding the historical and conceptual foundations of racism. It will be of interest to scholars and students in history, philosophy, psychology, and critical race studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-06-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032229618\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 178\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Mondadori Universities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46548904673420,"sku":"9783032229618","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032229618.jpg?v=1779655138","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032229618","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
