“Joseph L. Graves Jr. and Alan Goodman\u2019s unflinching commitment to the integration of biological and social data and processes alongside historical and contemporary assessments of systemic racism in Racism, Not Race<\/em><\/strong> is therefore powerful and necessary … Graves and Goodman demonstrate why antiracism is not just an ethical and scientifically correct position, but why it is also necessary for the future of science and society.”\u00a0 Science<\/strong>, January, 28, 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“A relatable conversation about race that stands out from many other books on the always-relevant topic.\u00a0 …\u00a0 An entertaining and informative read that will serve as a jumping-off point for countless discussions about racism.” Kirkus (Full review here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

“A new angle and an accessible approach to the ongoing reckoning with race in America” Publisher’s Weekly – Full review here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Best Books of the Month (December) – BookBrowse<\/a><\/p>\n

What a timely and thoughtful book, posing in Socratic fashion the central questions of our struggling republic.” – Ken Burns, filmmaker<\/cite><\/p>\n

“I<\/strong>n this timely and important book, Professors Graves and Goodman provide detailed explanations in response to questions about race and racism. They have also followed the “Noah principle.” Indeed, it is not enough to simply predict the rain. One must also build arks. And that is what Professors Graves and Goodman have done. They offer concrete steps that can be taken to help to eliminate the scourge of racism, as well as other systems of oppression, that continue to plague our nation.” –\u00a0 <\/strong>Jonnetta Betsch Cole, author of Racism in American Public Life: A Call to Action.<\/cite>
\n<\/cite><\/em><\/p>\n

“A timely tapestry of questions and answers on race and racism! Joseph Graves and Alan Goodman have intricately disentangled and woven together biological race, social race, and racism, providing a strategy for addressing not only the consequences of systemic racism, but more importantly, the root cause\u2014the ideology of a hierarchy of human value. Brilliant work!” –\u00a0 Charmaine DM Royal, Director of Duke University Center on Genomics, Race, Identity, Difference .<\/em><\/cite><\/p>\n

“In Racism, Not Race, <\/em>Graves and Goodman lay out comprehensively and accessibly that notions of race as applied to humans are social constructs that cannot be justified in biological terms. Packed with contemporary and historical references that place race in perspective, this is a coherent and authoritative clarification of an issue that is critically important for society but is widely misunderstood despite its ever more pressing social ramifications. A valuable resource.” – <\/em>Ian Tattersall, author of Troublesome Science: The Misuse of Genetics and Genomics in Understanding Race.<\/em><\/p>\n
