Summary: | International audience In the 19th century, scientific racism – derived from a supposedly objective way of thinking – renewed a great number of stereotypes. Defining, identifying and stigmatizing historic minorities gave the authorities the power to exclude them from white mainstream society and to control their lives. Ideas created by scientific racism have influenced the Westerners’ way of thinking and actions against First Nations in North America from the 19th to the 20th century. Issu d’un mode de pensée supposé objectif, le racisme scientifique a, au 19ème siècle, réactualisé nombres de préjugés. L’acte de définir, d’identifier et de stigmatiser les Premières Nations a permis aux autorités de les exclure de la société blanche majoritaire et de contrôler leurs vies. Les discours fondés par le racisme scientifique ont influencé le mode de pensée et les actions des Occidentaux à l’encontre des autochtones en Amérique du Nord du 19ème au 20ème siècle. |
