From the 18th century, Oceania<\/a> became the principal laboratory of raciology for scholars, voyagers, and colonisers alike. By juxtaposing encounters and theory, this magisterial book explores the semantics of human difference in all its emotional, intellectual, religious, and practical dimensions. The argument developed is subtle, engrossing, and gives the paradigm of \u2018race\u2019 its full use value. Foreign Bodies<\/em> is a model of analysis and erudition from which historians of science and everyone interested in intercultural relations will greatly profit.<\/p>\n
