> 	Race and racism have been subjects of much discussion throughout
> the humanities and social sciences, but archaeology has not participated
> in these discussions as fully as it might. This volume aims to aid as a
> spur to further discussion. Considerable debate revolves around whether
> racism is a modern phenomenon or is found more generally in human
> history. There seems little doubt that the systematic nature of racism
> as a key element of state power took on a new virulent form in the
> twentieth century, but rather more doubts are expressed about the longer
> history of racism. Race as a biological category is also in debate, with
> some biological anthropologists feeling that this is a useful term for
> describing geographically localized aspects of human variability. A
> range of views is represented in this volume.
