  Offers a new way of looking at the distressingly persistent subject of intelligence research as it relates to race and gender. Constance Hilliard's premise - that researchers preoccupied with proving racial hierarchies often sacrifice scientific truth to masculine insecurities - rests on her examination of works of historical and contemporary figures in the field of racial research.
