Man's Most Dangerous Myth

Meer over het boek

The book presents a groundbreaking theory that challenges the prevailing beliefs of its time, asserting that race is primarily a social construct rather than a determinant of biological differences. Initially published in 1942, it critiques the misconceptions surrounding race, particularly during an era marked by Nazism and racial segregation. Over the decades, the author, Ashley Montagu, has revised the work to reflect evolving understandings of race and race relations, reinforcing its relevance in contemporary discussions about identity and equality.
