Features: Tadjiev's main contribution to the study of racism is his dichotomy between "biologically defined" bloodline racism and cultural racism that avoids the issue of bloodline and emphasizes historical differences. In his view, the former emphasizes a unified system that explicitly defines the unequal status of different bloodline groups, thereby constituting a racial class relationship where the "high nobility" enslaves and exploits the "lowly." The latter does not emphasize, or does not need to emphasize, the bloodline basis of ethnic divisions or the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, but rather highlights cultural incompatibility, demanding that "everyone live their own lives" and implementing segregation policies, transforming the exploitative relationship between superiority and inferiority into a relationship where one ethnic group drives out another. His book "The Origins of Racism" revolves around this point. In fact, this book is a theoretical condensation of his previous works, particularly "The Power of Prejudice," which contains extensive research. Concise and to the point, it is a masterpiece that concentrates the author's long-term research findings.
