With the completion of the sequencing of the human genome in 2001, the debate over the existence of a biological basis for race has been revived. In Revisiting Race in a Genomic Age, historians, anthropologists, philosophers, geneticists, and bioethicists join forces to examine the new social, political, and ethical dimensions of emerging genetic research on race. Chapters explore race-targeted drug development, genetic research and health disparities, the social implications of commercially available personal genetic ancestry tests, and the dynamics and rhetoric of scientific claims about race and genetics in public policy and the media. As genetic research enters the realm of race and identity, this volume takes a critical first step toward interdisciplinary dialogue. - Back cover.
