Abstract
Claude Lévi-Strauss (born 1928) is a French anthropologist who introduced the Strucuralism in anthropology. He taught at the New School for Social Research in New York and obtained a chair of Social Anthropology at the College de France (1959-1982). In 1960, he founded the Laboratoire d'Anthropologie Sociale (LAS). He joined the Academie française in 1973. In the both extracts, Claude Lévi-Strauss wants to fight against racism, not only with discrediting the basis on which it is seemingly founded, but also with finding its more profound roots.
