Labeling People: French Scholars on Society, Race, and Empire, 1815-1848 - McGill-Queen's Studies in the History of Ideas
Martin S. Staum
Nineteenth-century French scholars, during a turbulent era of revolution and industrialization, ranked intelligence and character according to facial profile, skin colour, and head shape. This title examines the Paris societies of phrenology, geography, and ethnology and their techniques for classifying people.
