race history

Race history examines how different human groups have been perceived and treated based on physical characteristics, primarily skin color. It highlights the social, political, and economic implications of these perceptions, often leading to systemic inequalities and conflicts. This history is shaped by colonialism, slavery, and migration, influencing social structures and cultural identities. Understanding race history helps to recognize the ongoing impacts of racism and the need for social justice, as it informs discussions on equality, identity, and cultural heritage, shaping today’s societies worldwide.
