«Race et histoire» is the anthropology essay by Claude Lévi-Strauss, published by Denoël in paperback (136 pages, in French).
The text, written in 1952, analyzes the notion of race in relation to cultural diversity. Lévi-Strauss criticizes ethnocentrism and the idea of a single progress, recalls that no culture is ethnically homogeneous and rejects hierarchies among civilizations; for him, humanity exists through diverse peoples.
This French edition, published in 1974 in the Bibliothèque Médiations collection (no. 55), also includes «L'œuvre de Claude Lévi-Strauss» by Jean Pouillon.
For readers interested in anthropology, philosophy and the history of ideas.
Claude Lévi-Strauss was a Belgian-born French anthropologist and ethnologist whose work was key in the development of the theories of structuralism and structural anthropology. He held the chair of Social Anthropology at the Collège de France between 1959 and 1982, was elected a member of the Académie française in 1973 and was a member of the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris. He received numerous honors from universities and institutions throughout the world.
