Description
The Racialized Brain investigates the critical intersection between neuroscience, sociology, and race studies. Rengin Firat challenges conventional neuroscientific narratives that have historically been used to justify racial hierarchies and biological racism. Through a neurosociological lens, the book examines how racial categorizations have influenced brain research, shaped scientific assumptions, and perpetuated racial inequalities within academic institutions.
Firat demonstrates that race is not a biological reality but a social construct with profound neurological and behavioral consequences. The work bridges neuroscience and critical race theory, revealing how scientific discourse has been racialized and how this impacts contemporary understanding of human difference. This essential text for students, researchers, and professionals in neuroscience, sociology, and racial studies provides crucial insights into decolonizing neuroscience and building more equitable scientific practices.
