    Abstract: Nineteenth-century French scholars, during a turbulent era of revolution and industrialization, ranked intelligence and character according to facial profile, skin colour, and head shape. They believed that such indicators could determine whether individuals were educable and peoples perfectible. In Labeling People Martin Staum examines the Paris societies of phrenology (reading intelligence and character by head shapes), geography, and ethnology and their techniques for classifying people. He shows how the work of these social scientists gave credence to the arrangement of "races" in a hierarchy, the domination of non-European peoples, and the limitation of opportunities for ill-favored individuals within France.

    Abstract: "During the turbulent era of revolution and industrialization in nineteenth-century France, scholars searched for methods to distinguish individual dispositions to intelligence and good character. They also sought to prove the superiority of Europeans. In Labeling People Martin S. Staum explores the use of geography, phrenology, and ethnology to classify people, showing how early nineteenth-century concepts of racial inequality prefigured the imperialist associationist discourse of the Third Republic. Such ideas justified European tutelage of 'civilizable' peoples and provided an open invitation to dominate and exploit the 'uncivilizable.'"--Jacket
