A review essay analyzing Ivan Hannaford’s Race: The History of an Idea in the West (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996). Goldberg’s essay critiques Hannaford’s book by arguing that the latter does not adequately consider the impact of Hellenic notions from antiquity on the modern development of race, or the transmission of racial ideas from medieval North Africa and the Middle East.
