Natalie Cranberry’s Reviews > Gods of the Upper Air: How a Circle of Renegade Anthropologists Reinvented Race, Sex, and Gender in the Twentieth Century > Status Update

It is a prehistory of the seismic social changes of the last hundred years, from women's suffrage and the civil rights movement to the sexual revolution and marriage equality, as well as of the forces that push in the opposite direction, toward chauvinism and bigotry.

This book is about women and men who found themselves on the front lines of the greatest moral battle of our time: the struggle to prove that -- despite differences of skin color, gender, ability, or custom -- humanity is one undivided thing.
It tells the story of globalists in an era of nationalism and social division and the origins of an outlook that we now label modern and open-minded.
