Tracing the idea of race through three centuries of North American history, the author shows race to be a cultural construct - a folk worldview fabricated within English culture. The book offers a detailed insight into European and particularly English 18th- and 19th-century intellectual and popular beliefs about "race".

Audrey Smedley is professor emerita of anthropology and African American studies at Virginia Commonwealth University.
