{"product_id":"the-history-of-white-people","title":"The History of White People","description":"A New York Times Bestseller\n\nThis terrific new book…[explores] the ‘notion of whiteness,’ an idea as dangerous as it is seductive.\" ―Boston Globe\nTelling perhaps the most important forgotten story in American history, eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter guides us through more than two thousand years of Western civilization, illuminating not only the invention of race but also the frequent praise of “whiteness” for economic, scientific, and political ends. A story filled with towering historical figures, The History of White People closes a huge gap in literature that has long focused on the non-white and forcefully reminds us that the concept of “race” is an all-too-human invention whose meaning, importance, and reality have changed as it has been driven by a long and rich history of events.\n70 black-and-white illustrations\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393339742\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0393339742.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Painter, Nell Irvin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
