It presented a revolutionary theory for its time; breaking the link between genetics and culture  it argued that race is largely a social construction and not constitutive of significant biological differences between people. In the ensuing 55 years  as Ashley Montagus radical hypothesis became accepted knowledge  succeeding editions of his book traced the changes in our conceptions of race and race relations over the 20th century. Now  over 50 years later  Mans Most Dangerous Myth is back in print  fully revised by the original author. Montagu is internationally renowned for his work on race  as well as for such influential books as The Natural Superiority of Women  Touching  and The Elephant Man. This new edition contains Montagus most complete explication of his theory and a thorough updating of previous editions. The Sixth Edition takes on the issues of the Bell Curve  IQ testing  ethnic cleansing and other current race relations topics  as well as contemporary restatements of topics previously addressed. A bibliography of almost 3 000 published items on race  compiled over a lifetime of work  is of enormous research value. Also available is an abridged student edition containing the essence of Montagus argument  its policy implications  and his thoughts on contemporary race issues for use in classrooms. Ahead of its time in 1942  Montagus arguments still contribute essential and salient perspectives as we face the issue of race in the 1990s. Mans Most Dangerous Myth is the seminal work of one of the 20th centurys leading intellectuals  essential reading for all scholars and students of race relations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648058875957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0803946473","price":215.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780803946477.jpg?v=1781708373","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mans-most-dangerous-myth-the-fallacy-of-race-9780803946477","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
