«Raza y cultura» is the anthropology essay by Claude Lévi-Strauss, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together the essays «Raza e historia» and «Raza y cultura» by Claude Lévi-Strauss. In them he analyzes the relationship between progress and cultural diversity, and criticizes racism by pointing out that racial discourse rests on a moral fallacy and a scientific one. No culture is superior and differences between societies enrich humanity.

For readers of philosophy, anthropology and sociology interested in the debate on race and culture.
