Fatal Invention:
How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-First Century

 In her new book, Roberts argues that science, politics, and big business
are working hand-in-hand to resuscitate race as a biological category
written in our genes; yet, America has not become the
"post-racial society" that so many envision.

 RSVP Required by Wednesday, July 20, at usstudies@wilsoncenter.org.
