Eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter tells perhaps the most important forgotten story in history. Beginning at the roots of Western civilisation, she traces the invention of the idea of a white race - often for economic, scientific and political ends. She shows how the origins of identity in the 18th century were intrinsically tied to the elevation of white skin into the embodiment of beauty, power and intelligence.
