¡Ruth Benedict, Daiki Abe
Description
[Machine Translation] This is a new translation of RACE AND RACISM, a long-selling book published in 1940 by Ruth Benedict, an American cultural anthropologist and author of Kiku to Katana (The Chrysanthemum and the Sword), which has been read as a "classic" of Japanese theory. In the midst of the rise of Nazism in Europe and the spread of fascism throughout the world, Benedict sharply questions "What is race? The term "racism" became widely known and used in this book. This book is a warning bell for us today, more than 70 years later, as it debunks one by one the racists' discourse that promotes superiority and inferiority not only in terms of "race" (white, black, yellow, etc.) but also in terms of nation, language, religion, place of birth, heredity, and culture. The translator, who is 30 years old this year, is a psychiatrist. The translator, a 30-year-old psychiatrist, has rediscovered the value of this book through his own medical experiences and has newly translated it in plain language so that it can be widely read by modern readers. This is a masterpiece of Benedict's work that should be reread at a time when globalization is advancing rapidly and social disconnection and intolerance are becoming more and more serious.
