First published in the original French in 1853, Joseph Arthur de Gobineau's The Inequality of the Human Races was the first modern attempt to prove that race is the primary force determining events and history. He argues that there are three major groupings of humankind, each defined by skin colour; and that the fate of civilisations is determined by their racial mix. Controversial and a cornerstone of 20th radical theory.
