A World of Peoples by Robert Gardiner
Executive Secretary,
United Nations Economic Commission for Africa
3: Contemporary Racial Moods
' The peoples of the world are trapped in a vicious circle composed of notions of superiority and inferiority, of suspicions, misconceptions, frustrations and insecurity. And above all there is fear.'
In this lecture Mr. Gardiner looks at the persistence of discredited theories of white superiority and the proper contribution of science; analyses some of the suspicions, misconceptions and frustrations; lists the main fears, and suggests treatment for them.
