Aloysius Ihezie, Bloomsbury Paperbacks, 05/03/2011, 2.5, Stanford Univ Pr, 1994. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. This is the first systematic study of a topic which cuts straight through t he heart of many aspects of intellectual life in modern China and has hithe rto remained unexplored because it has been deemed to be embarrassing and p olitically unfashionable: the discourse of race. This book looks at the eme rgence of racial stereotypes during the nineteenth century, the gradual for mation of a racial discourse at the turn of the century, the conceptualizat ion of racial nationalism at the beginning of the 1910s, and the institutio nalization and habituation of this discourse by the academic community in t he 1920s and '30s. It also provides the first analysis of eugenics--the pse udo-science of race improvement--in Republican China. The work is based on a wide variety of sources, some hitherto neglected by sinologists, such as primers on anthropology, genetics and eugenics, pamphlets on racial nationa lism, medical handbooks, schoolbooks and caricatures. The author first demonstrates that racial categories of analysis were not confined to the edges of Chinese thought systems, but have been widespread and influential during the past century. Secondly, he argues that racial discourse did not result from 'Western influence' but was largely due to endogenous developments which had only a minimal relationship to Western thought. Thirdly, he dispels the myth of Chinese 'cultural universalism' to show that outgroups were often classified according to physical characteristics alleged to be permanent.
