The History of Racism - Episode 2 (part 6/6)

Episode 2 - A Fatal Impact: Eugenics, Social Darwinism, and Genocide.


During the 19th century, racial categorization took on a pseudoscientific stance. This program shows how the academic racism of the period helped to spread imperialist policies across the globe. Sifting through the science of eugenics and its link to social Darwinism, the film juxtaposes the racial hygiene theories of Robert Knox, Francis Galton, and Eugen Fischer with racial warfare in Tasmania, Victorian apathy in famine-wracked India, and—prefacing the Holocaust—horrific German colonization tactics in Namibia. Expert commentary comes from author David Dabydeen, Dr. Maria Misra of Oxford University, and Professor Catherine Hall of University College London. Contains graphic footage from concentration camps.

[kalaithiran]

You know, i am an indian and whenever i watch this, i am reminded of my heritage and what my ancestors when through. Even though i live in singapore and it is a multi-racial society, there is always the thought about the color of skin. I am sure that is the same way in america.
