Race, Sex, Gender: Die erstaunlichen Hintergründe für die Diskussion unserer Gegenwart und der Beginn der modernen Anthropologie um Franz Boas, Margaret Mead und Claude Lévi-Strauss Race, Sex, Gender: Mit diesen Begriffen wird heute gegen Diskriminierung gekämpft. Dass die Biologie den Menschen nicht auf eine bestimmte Rolle festlegt und keine Kultur anderen überlegen ist, erkannte freilich schon eine rebellische Gruppe junger Wissenschaftler um den Ethnologen Franz Boas (1858–1942). Ihre Forschungen widerlegten die Lehren der Rassekundler. Schon früh hatte sich Boas auf den Weg gemacht, um die Ureinwohner der kanadischen Arktis und Nordamerikas zu erforschen. Als Professor in New York begründete er die moderne Anthropologie: Margaret Mead und Claude Lévi-Strauss verehrten ihn als Lehrer, die Nationalsozialisten verbrannten seine Bücher. Boas und sein Kreis begründeten ein Menschenbild, für das wir noch heute kämpfen.

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *WINNER OF THE FRANCIS PARKMAN PRIZE 2020* *FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2019* The riveting story of the pioneers who redefined conceptions of 'normality' in the early twentieth century. Under the guiding eye of cultural anthropologist Franz Boas, these scientist-explorers - most of them women - made intrepid journeys into far-flung communities all over the world, where they documented radically different social approaches that overturned Western assumptions about human diversity and challenged the era's scientific consensus. Here, the boundary-breaking lives and achievements of Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, Ella Deloria and Zora Neale Hurston are brought fully into light for the first time, showing how their trailblazing discoveries helped shape the moral universe we inhabit today.

A small circle of renegade scientist-explorers transformed the concept of normalcy in the early twentieth century. This group of pioneering anthropologists, many of whom were women, embarked on bold journeys that challenged prevailing notions of race, sexuality, gender, and human diversity, laying the groundwork for subsequent civil rights movements and ongoing debates. Their travels spanned the globe, from the Arctic to the South Pacific, Haiti to Japan, where they engaged with isolated communities and documented diverse approaches to love, child-rearing, family dynamics, and gender roles. Armed with this evidence, they confronted the scientific consensus of their time, which held that intelligence and character were determined by race or sex, demonstrating instead that societal roles are shaped by a rich variety of cultures. Their lives were marked by boundary-breaking experiences, scandal, romance, rivalry, and tragedy. Figures like Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict achieved fame, while others, such as Native American activist Ella Deloria and African-American writer Zora Neale Hurston, faced poverty and obscurity. The narrative also highlights the contributions of Franz Boas, the controversial founder of anthropology. Together, these unconventional individuals shaped the moral framework of our contemporary world.
