About this audiobook

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. Originally published in 1915, "Race And Nationality" by Franz Boas stands as a foundational text that fundamentally challenged the prevailing ideas of its time. Boas confronts the intertwined concepts of race and nationalism, dismantling their use as pillars of political theory and the construction of social and cultural identity. Though over a century old, this incisive analysis forges a critical link to our own time, delivering an essential framework for understanding contemporary debates on identity, political science, and social hierarchies. For anyone seeking to understand the historical roots of our current discourse on culture and national identity, this seminal work by a pioneering anthropologist is essential reading, unearthing the flawed assumptions that still govern our world.
