Brenner, Anita | November 13, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on two books. "The Mind of the Savage," by Raoul Allier and "Are We Civilized?," by Robert H. Lowie. The average intelligent but uninformed reader who is generally invoiced in discussions of scientific popularizations will be much confused as to what anthropologists really know or believe about man and his achievements if he reads these two books, for they are neatly disparate. Allier, dean of the faculty of Protestant theology at Paris, looks upon human culture through ethnological spectacles which show him the world divided into "Le non-civilisé et nous," the title under which "The Mind of the Savage" originally appeared.
