Reviews

This is an important and extremely timely collection that will inform ongoing and evolving discussions within the social sciences and beyond about the changing relationship between identity and genomics. It captures and contributes to an emerging moment in social science engagement with genomics and issues of identity and the politics of difference. * Sahra Gibbon, University College London

This wide-ranging, international collection considers many of the practical, ethical and political questions raised by the proliferation of genetic research and testing around the world...Almost all of the chapters deal in a sophisticated way with questions about how ideas of identity, race, and kinship are being shaped by their interaction with genetic technologies and the way those technologies are being interpreted. * Contemporary Sociology. A Journal of Reviews Overall, the book successfully highlights the complex and often contradictory nature of the relationship between politics and science...[It]offers an original contribution to debates on identity, race and genetics...The overall strength of the collection (as the editors argue) lies in its use of a range of rich and illuminating case studies from locations across the globe. * Ethnic and Racial Studies This is an important and extremely timely collection that will inform ongoing and evolving discussions within the social sciences and beyond about the changing relationship between identity and genomics. It captures and contributes to an emerging moment in social science engagement with genomics and issues of identity and the politics of difference. * Sahra Gibbon, University College London
