Bibliothèque des Sciences Contemporaines
Description
Written with a didactic purpose, this volume is one of 12 volumes comprising the collection Bibliothèque des Sciences Contemporaines. This volume is compiled of different chapters dedicated entirely to anthropological and zoological science with the objective of studing the relationship between humankind and the animal kingdom. Within the volume, 12 chapters are dedicated to the 'human races'. These chapters dedicated entirely to racial anthropology contain topics such as racial classifications, craniometry, and cognitive and behavioural traits. In doing so, it misuses science to justify racial discrimination through reproducing racist and prejudiced ideologies of superiority and their domination over inferior races.

Relation
Facing Blackness is a multimedia exhibition that takes the public through the obscure history of portraying Black people from the colonial period to contemporary society. Using unique archive material and visual art, we show how anti-black racism became part of the Dutch 'cultural archive' and our everyday ideas, customs and utensils. On the other hand, the exhibition shows how there has always been 'everyday resistance' to various forms of racism and how Black people themselves have given and continue to give meaning to their culture and identity.
