520 1 $a"Focusing on American culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, The Languages of Difference studies the pervasive and potent notion of "the primitive" - a notion with dubious colonialist backgrounds and intricate involvement with ideas of color and race, civilization and culture." "The Languages of Difference specifically focuses on seven seminal anthropologists and authors - Henry Lewis Morgan, Henry Adams, Eugene O'Neill, Franz Boas, William Faulkner, Margaret Mead, and Zora Neale Hurston - who reshaped the discourse on human difference through their unique contributions of insight and method."--BOOK JACKET.
