Description
Ashley Montagu's thought-provoking volume critically examines the terms "race" and "IQ", challenging their applications in scientific discourse. A collection of essays by twenty-four contributors, including prominent thinkers from various fields, this work presents a deep skepticism about the scientific validity of intelligence tests. The book addresses concerns surrounding racism and education in America, particularly in relation to the controversial concept of innate intelligence. Five new essays have been included to address specific claims made in "The Bell Curve". This book offers a brilliantly lucid exploration of the boundary line between race and intelligence.
