About this episode

Even today, the belief in which humanity would be divided into races, and that some of them would be inferior, is at the origin of numerous tensions and discriminations. From the Slave Trade to Apartheid via scientific theories from the 18th century, “Mapping the World” wonders about the persistence of racism and attacks common beliefs about this cultural and political construction.
