This BBC documentary series, Racism – A History, chronicles the shifts in the idea of ‘race’ and the history of racism in Europe, The Americas, Australasia and Asia.

These history films show how ideas of racial difference have evolved in response to historical events, and identify the profound impact that the idea of ‘race’, and the fact of racism, has had on science, culture, society and global history.

By exploring the history of ‘race’ – from the early emergence of racial consciousness to the impact of the very latest discoveries in genetics – this BBC TV series examines the nature of the ‘racial landscape’ which, for five centuries, has occupied such an important place in the collective imagination of the West
