Les compartimos la siguiente información acerca del libro Mestizo Genomics recién publicado por Duke University Press y en el cual participa uno de nuestros tutores, el Dr. Carlos López:

Duke University Press is pleased to announce the publication of

Mestizo Genomics: 
Race Mixture, Nation, and Science in Latin America

Editors: Peter Wade, Carlos López Beltrán, Eduardo Restrepo and Ricardo Ventura Santos

"In this compelling volume, the authors illuminate the complex functions of race in contemporary science, exploring how concepts like biogeographical ancestry resonate with history, and how the notion of the mestizo matters to both national identities and genomic science. Peter Wade's thoughtful concluding analysis brilliantly places these remarkable case studies in conversation with relevant literatures in science studies and the history of science. All in all, a fresh and critical perspective on contemporary genomics research."—M. Susan Lindee, author of Moments of Truth in Genetic Medicine

Drawing on ethnographic research in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, the contributors to Mestizo Genomics explore how the concepts of race, ethnicity, nation, and gender enter into and are affected by genomic research.
