The Rise and Fall of the Caucasian Race: A Political History of Racial Identity. By Bruce Baum. (New York: New York University Press, 2006. x, 342 pp. $45.00, ISBN 0-8147-9892-6.)

In The Rise and Fall of the Caucasian Race, Bruce Baum, a political scientist at the University of British Columbia, explores the cultural construction of Caucasian racial identity in Europe and in the United States, from the eighteenth century to the present. By exploring the invention and reification of "the Caucasian," Baum contributes to the larger project of historicizing whiteness advanced by David Roediger, Noel Ignatiev, Matthew Frye Jacobson, and others.
