Genetic Nationalism reveals the effects of international genetic discourses on Middle Eastern nationalisms and the significance of Middle Eastern genetics to the international scientific community. This book illuminates how genetic research simultaneously promotes national interests in the global community and enforces colonialism at home. Elise Burton reveals the political, social, and technological processes that have shaped genetic research in the twentieth century, tracing the global incorporation of nationalist historical narratives and identities into the broader understanding of human evolution"-- 650 0 Human genetics |xPolitical aspects |zMiddle East |xHistory. 650 0 Nationalism |zMiddle East |xHistory. 650 0 Nationalism and science |zMiddle East |xHistory. 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6616_000000000000000__0420956_BUR |70 |8REF |9130080OSA |bOSA |d2021-05-20 |eOSA |l0 |o616/.0420956 BUR |r2021-05-20 |w2021-05-20 |yBK |cReference 920 01 loVmbJe8 992 01 616_000000000000000__0420956_BUR |bTYT_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ__ZVXZQUT_O58 966 |cIn the Research Room
