In genetics laboratories in Latin America, scientists have been mapping the genomes of local populations, seeking to locate the genetic basis of complex diseases and to trace population histories. As part of their work, geneticists often calculate the European, African, and Amerindian genetic ancestry of populations. Some researchers explicitly connect their findings to questions of national identity and racial and ethnic difference, bringing their research to bear on issues of politics and identity.

Race, Ethnicity, and Nation: Perspectives from Kinship and Genetics
ISBN: 9781845456818 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Race, ethnicity and nation are all intimately linked to family and kinship, yet these links deserve closer attention than they usually get in social science, above all when family and kinship are changing rapidly in the context of genomic and biotechnological revolutions. Drawing on data from assisted reproduction, transnational adoption, mixed race families, Basque identity politics and post-Soviet nation-building, this volume provides new and challenging ways to understand race, ethnicity and nation.

Race, Ethnicity, and Nation: Perspectives from Kinship and Genetics
ISBN: 9781845453558 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The intersection of race, ethnicity and genomics has recently been a focus of debate and concern. The key areas of debate are pharmacogenomics and, to a lesser extent, racial profiling in the criminal justice system. The former poses the question as to whether certain "races" are genetically predisposed towards given diseases and whether they metabolize drugs differently; with the latter debating whether DNA analyses accurately identify the "race" of an individual. This book takes a different approach, while acknowledging the importance of these debates and their role in shaping what the...

ISBN: 9780745329499 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The intersection of race and sex in Latin America is a subject touched upon by many disciplines but this is the first book to deal solely with these issues.
