Patron Services: Library of Congress Book Talk: Gods of the Upper Air, by Charles King

The Library of Congress invites you to a talk by Professor Charles King on his new book, Gods of the Upper Air:  How a Circle of Renegade Anthropologists Reinvented Race, Sex, and Gender in the Twentieth Century.

Friday, December 13, 2019

6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Preceded by a related treasure display: 5:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Montpelier Room, sixth floor, the James Madison Building, The Library of Congress

101 Independence Avenue, S.E.

Metro station:  Capitol South

The talk begins at 6:00pm.  Professor King made use of the Margaret Mead papers at the Library of Congress, and a rare showing of several interesting items from Mead’s manuscripts will be available from 5:15pm to 6:00pm, before the talk, in the same room, the Montpelier Room.

Franz Boas (1858-1942), the pioneering German-American professor of anthropology at Columbia University, rejected the then popular notion of cultural hierarchies. His influential teaching, based on observation, was that cultural differences are not the result of biological differences, such as race. This book is a group portrait of Boas and some of his most eminent students:  Margaret Mead, Zora Neale Hurston, Ruth Benedict, and Ella Cara Deloria.  The book has received acclaim in reviews by The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.

Book sale and signing will follow.
