THE REINVENTION OF HUMANITY - CHARLES KING KART...

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH ACADEMY NAYEF AL-RODHAN PRIZE 2020*
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. *WINNER OF THE
FRANCIS PARKMAN PRIZE 2020**FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2019*
