## About this book

Power And Prejudice: the politics and diplomacy of racial discrimination by Paul Gordon Lauren examines the critical intersection of race relations and international politics. This historical study explores how racial dynamics have shaped global diplomacy, focusing specifically on the evolution of black-white relations. The text traces the rise of race theory and Social Darwinism through the 19th century, examining how these ideologies fueled antisemitism and the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany.

As a significant work in history and international relations, the book analyzes how the Holocaust transformed Western attitudes toward racism. It details the shift toward the principle of racial equality within the United Nations, even as colonial powers resisted changes to their own discriminatory policies. From the aftermath of World War I to the controversial 1975 Zionism resolution, Power And Prejudice: the politics and diplomacy of racial discrimination provides a scholarly look at human rights and global social science.
