Aristotle And The American Indians: A Study In Race Prejudice In The Modern World

""Aristotle and the American Indians: A Study in Race Prejudice in the Modern World"" by Lewis Hanke is a book that explores the historical and philosophical roots of race prejudice, particularly in the context of the treatment of Native Americans in the United States. The book examines the influence of Aristotle's ideas on race and ethnicity, and how these ideas were used to justify the subjugation and mistreatment of indigenous peoples.Hanke argues that Aristotle's belief in a natural hierarchy of races and ethnicities was used by European colonizers to justify their domination over non-European peoples, including Native Americans. He also explores how this legacy of racism continues to shape modern attitudes and policies towards indigenous peoples in the United States and elsewhere.Through a combination of historical research and philosophical analysis, ""Aristotle and the American Indians"" offers a compelling critique of the ways in which race prejudice has been used to justify oppression and exploitation throughout history. It is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the history of race relations and the ongoing struggle for social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
