Racial Segregation

More about the book

The exploration of racism traces its roots to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, marked by the classification of human races, notably by Arthur de Gobineau. His categorization of races laid the groundwork for the notion of white superiority, which was later discredited post-World War II. The paper discusses the persistent impact of racial segregation, particularly emphasized by skin color, as evidenced in historical contexts like Apartheid and modern urban divisions. It highlights the resulting inequalities and suggests potential improvements to address these issues.
