A hard-hitting investigation of the racist uses of statistics—now in paperback!
Tukufu Zuberi offers a concise account of the historical connections between the development of the idea of race and the birth of social statistics. Zuberi describes how race-differentiated data are misinterpreted in the social sciences and asks searching questions about the ways racial statistics are used. He argues that statistical analysis can and must be deracialized, and that this deracialization is essential to the goal of achieving social justice for all.
Tukufu Zuberi is professor of sociology and director of the Center for Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
