Studies in Medical Anthropology

by Barbara A. Koenig (Editor), Sarah S. Richardson (Editor), Sarah J. Richardson (Editor)

With the completion of the sequencing of the human genome in 2001, the debate over the existence of a biological basis for race has been revived. In Revisiting Race in a Genomic Age, interdisciplinary scholars join forces to examine the new social, political, and ethical concerns that are attached to how we think about emerging technologies and their impact on current conceptions of race and identity.
