Culture Against Man

Culture Against Man (1972) by Jules Henry – Penguin Books
Brought to you by Crappy Old Books – proudly shelving the uncomfortable truths.

In Culture Against Man, anthropologist Jules Henry turns his gaze inward, examining American society with the same clinical scrutiny usually reserved for “exotic tribes.” Originally published in 1963 and reissued in this 1972 Penguin paperback, Henry tackles education, advertising, family life, and institutional madness in a culture that, he argues, is slowly devouring its own humanity. It’s provocative, bleak, and unsettlingly relevant—even if your bell bottoms no longer fit.

Our copy has been through its own cultural experience: pages tanned like old leather, cover a bit warped (probably from a ‘70s radiator), but the ideas inside are as sharp as ever.

Near new condition, as though it were never read, which is quite unbeleivable really as its so interesting and exciting.
