Gods of the Upper Air How a Circle of Renegade Anthropologists Reinvented Race, Sex, and Gender in the Twentieth Century
This compelling history explores how a group of radical anthropologists in the early 20th century challenged prevailing notions of race, sex, and gender. Led by Franz Boas, figures like Margaret Mead, Ella Deloria, and Zora Neale Hurston traveled the globe, demonstrating that human diversity is shaped by culture and history, not biology. Their groundbreaking research not only redefined our understanding of identity but also laid the groundwork for modern conceptions of multiculturalism, offering a vital perspective on contemporary issues of prejudice and belonging.
