Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini

4.0

A great start for a new reading year. This is a good example of a topic for which investigative journalism fits better than academic debate. The whole point of the book is that science is not above social prejudices, but to make this argument within scholarly discourse is often difficult. In her interviews Saini manages to catch the ’race realists’ at their core in a way that purely academic argument couldn’t do. On top of it, the prose flows nicely, with hard science, social history, and personal reflection intertwined. Recommended.
