Race: Are We So Different? (American Anthropological Association)The interactive online component of the AAA's traveling exhibit, which examines race in the U.S., looking particularly on the invention of the concept, and what science has to tell us about human variation and difference. Also includes links to online and print resources for researchers.
To help promote more complex and nuanced understandings of race and human variation, the AAA developed and currently manages a public education program titled “RACE Are We So Different?” The program includes a traveling museum exhibit, an interactive website [4], and educational materials. “RACE Are We So Different?” looks at race in the United States through history, science and lived experience. The program explains how human variation differs from race, when and why the idea of race was invented, and how race and racism affect everyday life.
