Francisco Bethencourt (Lisbon, 1955) [1] is Charles Boxer professor at King's College London. He taught at Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Brown University. Bethencourt’s research centres on the history of racism, Portuguese and European expansion from the 15th to the 19th centuries, missions and religious history in the Catholic world, and identities and cultural exchange in Iberia.[2] Bethencourt's Racisms: From the Crusades to the Twentieth Century (2013) was described as the first worldwide history of racism. It was described by Ekow Eshun in The Independent as "an unlovely history. But a necessary one".[3]
