Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and evolution of division between people through the lens of mathematics. It explores how mathematical principles, such as ratios, were used to justify social hierarchies and discrimination based on race, gender, and class throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The author argues that these mathematical ideas were not merely descriptive but prescriptive, actively shaping social and political arrangements and contributing to the marginalization of entire groups of people. The book's unique approach sheds light on the profound impact mathematics has had on our understanding of human difference and social inequality, prompting a critical examination of the role mathematics plays in shaping our societies.
