White Supremacy

White Supremacy, Volume 1, provides a comprehensive history of the emergence and evolution of racial hierarchies. John Broich examines the origins of whiteness within the British empire and traces its development through the racial politics of the modern era. This work of world history and sociology analyzes how the concept of an invented race connects to European colonialism, slavery, and the history of emancipation.

The text explores the intersections of philosophy, capitalism, and Social Darwinism to show how white supremacy rebranded itself over centuries. By scrutinizing Enlightenment thought and the rise of fascism, Broich challenges the notion that these systems were inevitable. This volume in the politics and social sciences category exposes the contradictions of racial ideologies and their lasting impact on global structures.
