Description

This is a comprehensive, worldwide bibliography of racism. It contains references on some 135 countries and extends from ancient times to the present. The first part of the work consists of references dealing with single countries. More than 10,000 citations are organized according to country from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. The second part contains references to areas or regions or to related bibliographies. Some 2000 non-duplicated citations are provided here. While the vast majority of entries are to English-language materials, a number of German, French, Spanish, and other language items are included as well. The work concludes with an author index and a subject index.

Reviews

As Professor Emeritus of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts and compiler of a companion volume, Racism in the United States: a Comprehensive Classified Bibliography (CH, Oct '90), Weinberg is uniquely qualified to produce this mammoth work. It contains 12,000 references to monographs, journal articles, book chapters, dissertations, and published papers relating to the worldwide study of racism and other inhumanities (antisemitism, colonialism, sexism, slavery). The scope is comprehensive, covering 135 countries as well as devoting a chapter to each continent, a short section to the ancient world, and a section to other related bibliographies. The emphasis is on recent literature written in English, French, German, and Spanish, with well over half the references prior to 1960. There are no annotations and only a short introduction. The author index is complete; the thematic subject index enables the researcher to locate references to broad topics (e.g., sexism) country-by-country. Although other comprehensive international bibliographies exist for some of the related topics in this work, researchers concerned with racism will find no comparable compilation.-Choice
