The UNESCO Courier 2008 - number 5Claude Lévi-Strauss: The View from Afar
This month's Courier, published in his 100th year, pays special tribute to Claude Levi-Strauss, the trail breaking social scientist whose views have influenced people all over the world. It offers a selection of articles written by him and published in the magazine since the early 1950s. It also includes unpublished documents, along with his photographs and sketches from the 1930s.
Listen to "Race and Culture" read by Claude Lévi-Strauss in French at UNESCO in 1971.
Watch the video coverage of his last public speech, made on the same podium in 2005.
Laurent LEVI-STRAUSS, Claude's son and UNESCO's Chief of Museums and Cultural Objects Section was recently in Washington, representing UNESCO at the annual meeting of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO.
