SCOPE: Racism is used to justify such atrocities as the Holocaust, Black Slavery, and Apartheid. Assumptions

(Becker, Encyclopedia of Ethics) The purpose of this pathfinder is to serve as a guideline for student research in locating library resources on this topic. It is not intended as a comprehensive listing, but as a selective sampling of some of the many types of resources available in the library.
