Gods of the Upper Air: How a Circle of Renegade Anthropologists Reinvented Race, Sex, and Gender in the Twentieth Century by Charles King

hopeful informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

This takes a look into the initial history behind the beginning of anthropology, and a closer look into each anthropologist, with brief explanations about personal backgrounds and history that can lend themselves well to understanding the implications and significance of the anthropological findings. I would have loved to have more information on Zora Neale Hurston in this, as she’s one of the pioneers for how current anthropology is written and described.
