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.
