First, in either a Webster's or Oxford dictionary look up the modern definition of "race." After reading Rattansi, discuss original definitions of the term "race" and how and when that definition changed over time. What historical events were crucial to changing the definition of the word race and why? How does the modern definition of race differ from definitions that arose in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Second, read Rattansi, Racism: A Very Short Introduction, 1-12, 20-44. As the next part of your reading post, answer the following questions with a high level of evidence and analysis: When the term "racism" was first coined in the 1930s, largely as a way to describe the Nazi expulsion (and later extermination) of Jews, in what ways did biological notions of race overlap (how some one looked) and intermingle with cultural notions of race (what people did)?
