Both geographers and ethnologists created concepts of fundamental "racial" inequality that prefigured the imperialist "associationist" discourse of the Third Republic, believing that European tutelage would guide "civilizable" peoples, and providing an open invitation to dominate and exploit the "uncivilizable."McGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;36.Physical anthropologyFranceHistory19th centuryPhrenologyFranceHistory19th centuryRacismFranceHistory19th centuryLearned institutions and societiesFranceParisHistory19th centuryRacism in anthropologyFranceHistory19th centuryImperialismHistory19th centuryRacismeFranceHistoire19e siècleSociétés savantes et institutsFranceParisHistoire19e siècleSciences socialesFranceHistoire19e siècleImpérialismeHistoire19e siècleFranceColoniesHistory19th centuryFranceColoniesHistoire19e sièclePhysical anthropologyHistoryPhrenologyHistoryRacismHistoryLearned institutions and societiesHistoryRacism in anthropologyHistoryImperialismHistoryRacismeHistoireSociétés savantes et institutsHistoireSciences socialesHistoireImpérialismeHistoire305.8/00944/09034Staum Martin S170276MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783795703321Labeling people3705154UNINA
