Culture of Intolerance: Chauvinism, Class, and Racism in the United States (Revised)
ISBN: 9780300080667 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Americans increasingly blame the failures of minority individuals in our society on "racial" inferiority. Anthropologist Mark Nathan Cohen argues cogently that the problems are cultural, not "racial," and that they are rooted in the assumptions of mainstream American culture, not in the biological or cultural failings of "others."
By summarizing scientific evidence proving that "races" do not exist and that few biological traits actually correlate with the color of one's skin, Cohen shows that differences in ability cannot be linked to "race." The growing gap between rich and poor and the... Americans increasingly blame the failures of minority individuals in our society on "racial" inferiority.

I was led only by what I could see on the street. Of course, the extreme newness of this giant country, Mexico, was shocking to me. There really is surrealism in the air." Between 1981 and 2003, Mark Cohen travelled to Mexico eight times. Seduced by the "surrealist" qualities he found there, Cohen took his camera to the streets of Mexico City, Oaxaca City, and Merida, as well as other parts of the Yucatan. Following his split-second impulses, Cohen took his signature "grab... "I made these pictures exactly as if I was taking pictures in Wilkes-Barre, my hometown.
