Description

Anthropology and Modern Life presents Franz Boas's foundational contributions to American anthropology, exploring his influential ideas on race, heredity, and modern society. Published by Routledge Classics, this seminal work influenced generations of scholars including Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, W. E. B. DuBois, and Zora Neale Hurston. Boas's writings address enduring controversies about racial types and their relationship to heredity, offering critical insights that remain relevant to contemporary debates. Late in his career, Boas lectured extensively to combat Nazi ideology and educate the public on the dangers of racial pseudoscience. This volume captures the breadth and depth of his anthropological thought, demonstrating why Boas remains essential reading for understanding the development of modern social science and the intellectual foundations of twentieth-century anthropology.

Key Features

Anthropology and Modern Life collects the influential writings of Franz Boas, founder of American anthropology, engaging with race, heredity and social theory.

The Routledge Classics edition preserves Boas's examination of controversies about racial types and their modern implications for understanding human diversity.

This work influenced Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, W. E. B. DuBois and Zora Neale Hurston, establishing Boas as a central figure in twentieth-century intellectual history.

Boas's lectures on Nazi ideology and racial science demonstrate his commitment to using anthropology to educate the public on dangerous pseudoscientific claims.

The book spans the full range of Boas's anthropological thought, from ethnography to cultural critique, making it essential for students of social science and history.
