{"product_id":"race-and-iq-expanded-edition-9780195102208","title":"Race and IQ, Expanded Edition","description":"Ashley Montagu, who first attacked the term race as a usable concept in his acclaimed work, \u003cem\u003eMan's Most Dangerous Myth\u003c\/em\u003e, offers here a devastating rebuttal to those who would claim any link between race and intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e In now classic essays, this thought-provoking volume critically examines the terms race and IQ and their applications in scientific discourse. The twenty-four contributors--including such eminent thinkers as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Urie Bronfenbrenner, W.F. Bodmer, and Jerome Kagan--draw on fields that range from biology and genetics to psychology, anthropology, and education. What emerges in piece after piece is a deep skepticism about the scientific validity of intelligence tests, especially as applied to evaluating innate intelligence, if only because scientists still cannot distinguish between genetic and environmental contributions to the development of the human mind. Five new essays have been included that specifically address the claims made in the recent, highly controversial book, \u003cem\u003eThe Bell Curve\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e Must reading for anyone interested in racism and education in America, \u003cem\u003eRace and IQ\u003c\/em\u003e is a brilliantly lucid exploration of the boundary line between race and intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Montagu, Ashley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195102208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.88w x 1.46d","brand":"Ashley Montagu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39450531758155,"sku":"9780195102208","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_f068f9bc-92eb-48ef-aeb4-efb011734caf.jpg?v=1627393677","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/race-and-iq-expanded-edition-9780195102208","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
