Requests:  0 Summary:  A century ago, everyone knew that people were defined by their race and sex, by birth and biology. But Franz Boas looked at the data and decided everyone was wrong. He proposed that cultures did not exist on a continuum from primitive to advanced. Instead, every society solves the same basic problems-- from childrearing to how to live well-- with its own set of rules, beliefs, and taboos. Boas's students mapped vanishing civilizations from the Arctic to the South Pacific and overturned the relationship between biology and behavior. Their work reshaped how we think of women and men, normalcy and deviance, and re-created our place in a world of many cultures and value systems. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306 King Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306 King Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
