A MUST-WATCH CONTROVERSIAL BLOCKBUSTER SERIES THAT DARES TO EXPLORE THE IMPACT OF RACISM ON A GLOBAL SCALE… as part of the season of programmes marking the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery. This documentary series chronicles the shifts in the idea of ‘race’ and the history of racism in Europe, The Americas, Australasia and Asia.
In response to the criticisms of T Scott from Andover and Dr J Owen from London concerning the passage on eugenics which appears in the second episode of Racism: A History, we would like to point out that this section was based on information drawn from a number of authoritative sources. As well as numerous conversations with eminent academics and researchers, this film relied on several acclaimed books by distinguished authors, including Michael Burleigh’s award-winning The Third Reich: A New History; Harry Bruinius’ Better For All The World; and most importantly, of course, the works of Francis Galton himself. Episode guide on next page.
Rated 9.3 / 10 Stars from IMDB.
