Abstract

To understand and challenge contemporary inequalities and exclusions, human geographers need an understanding of the ways in which the geographical imagination has shaped our ideas about ethnicity and race over space and time. This chapter considers definitions of race and ethnicity and the contested nature of these categories, outlines how ideas about race developed in science and society, and explores contemporary debates about the decolonisation of public histories.
