Description: The Equality of Human Races by Anténor Firmin, Asselin firmin, Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An important contribution to contemporary scholarship in anthropology, pan-African studies, and colonial and postcolonial studies Publisher Description Rediscovering an early scientific challenge to racism This is the first paperback edition of the only English-language translation of the Haitian scholar Anténor Firmins The Equality of the Human Races, a foundational text in critical anthropology first published in 1885 when anthropology was just emerging as a specialized field of study. Marginalized for its "radical" position that the human races were equal, Firmins lucid and persuasive treatise was decades ahead of its time. Arguing that the equality of the races could be demonstrated through a positivist scientific approach, Firmin challenged racist writings and the dominant views of the day. Translated by Asselin Charles and framed by Carolyn Fluehr-Lobbans substantial introduction, this rediscovered text is an important contribution to contemporary scholarship in anthropology, pan-African studies, and colonial and postcolonial studies. Author Biography Anténor Firmin (1850-1911) was born and educated in Haiti. He studied law and held several political offices before being posted as a diplomat to Paris, where he was admitted to the Societé dAnthropologie de Paris and wrote De LÉgalité des Races Humaines. He later returned to Haiti and served as minister of finance, commerce, and foreign relations. Asselin Charles teaches literature and journalism at Wenzao College of Languages in Taiwan. Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban is a professor of anthropology and the director of general education at Rhode Island College.
