His rigorous studies of variations across societies aimed to demonstrate that cultures and peoples were not shaped by biological predispositions. This book traces Boas’s life and intellectual passions from his roots in Germany and his move to the United States in 1884, partly in response to growing antisemitism in Germany. It explores his work with First Nations communities, and his influential role as a teacher, mentor, and engaged activist who inspired an entire generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from Boas's numerous but rarely read writings, Noga Arikha brings to life the man and the ideas he developed about the complex interplay of mind and culture, biology and history, language and myth. She provides a comprehensive picture of the cultural contexts in which he worked, his personal and professional relationships, and his revolutionary approach to fieldwork. He was celebrated in his lifetime for the cultural relativism he developed and the arguments he marshalled against entrenched racialism. But his was a constant battle, and Arikha shows how urgently relevant his voice and legacy have become again today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46790813024492,"sku":"9780300241235","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24410093482294.jpg?v=1756975863"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/noga-arikha.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
