  • Offers for the first time an accessible survey of the main debates, tensions and contradictions within Nazi race theory.
  • Nazism is central to discussions of race and identity within anthropology, sociology, history, linguistics and cultural studies.
  • The general reader and the student have hitherto lacked a general introduction to Nazi race theory and its place within wider trends of European thought and this book fills that gap.
  • Examines how and why Nazi race theorists without exception denied the existence of a “superior Aryan race” and the relation of their theories to the realities of social exclusion for Jews and others.
