To better understand the idea of ""race"" in the postgenomic age, social science ought to move beyond merely repeating the ""race is a social construct"" mantra. This collection directly engages the interface between social-scientific and natural-scientific perspectives on race considering recent developments in genomics. The book provides views that go beyond US-centered or Western-based paradigms on race.
