Anthropology and Modern Life (Classics in Anthropology (New Brunswick, N.J.).)

Anthropologist Franz Boas was a stalwart fighter for human rights and against racism. He was passionately concerned about individual liberty, freedom of inquiry and speech, equality of opportunity, and the defeat of prejudice and chauvinism. His "Anthropology and Modern Life" shows how Boas uses science in the service of humanity, hoping to break down racial and cultural barriers.
