La Peau et le toucher : un premier langage  [ancienne édition]

Ashley Montagu, who first attacked the term " race " as a usable concept in his acclaimed work, Mans Most Dangerous Myth, offers here a devastating rebuttal to those who would claim any link between race and intelligence. In now classic essays, this thought-provoking volume critically examines the terms " race " and " IQ " and their applications in scientifc discourse. The twenty-four contributors-including such eminent thinkers as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Urie Bronfenbrenner, WF. Bodmer, and Jerome Kagan-draw on fields that range from biology and genetics to psychology, anthropology, and education. What emerges in piece after piece is a deep skepticism about the scientific validity of intelligence tests, especially as applied to evaluating innate intelligence, if only because scientists still cannot distinguish between genetic and environmental contributions to the development of the human mind. Five new essays have been included that specifically address the claims made in the highly controversial book The Bell Curve. Must reading for psychology, racial studies, and education students, Race and IQ is a brilliantiy lucid exploration of the boundary line between race and intelligence.

Pourquoi notre culture occidentale prohibe-t-elle l'usage du toucher dans les relations sociales ? quelles sont les répercussions de cette véritable amputation sur le comportement et la personnalité des individus ?
Ashley montagu, en s'aidant des données de la psychologie animale, de l'ethnologie et de la sociologie, dresse un noir tableau de notre civilisation du non-toucher.
 Mais, de façon constructive, il évoque aussi ce que le toucher pourrait apporter non seulement au nouveau-né, à qui il est indispensable, mais aux rapports parents-enfants, à la, relation de couple et à toute notre vie sociale.  montagu est alors un avocat convaincant et son ouvrage constitue un véritable plaidoyer, pour une réhabilitation du toucher.
