The modern caste school of race relations

Abstract

DURING the last decade a prolific school of writers on race relations in the United States, led mainly by social anthropologists, have relied religiously upon an ingenious, if not original, caste hypothesis. Professor W. Lloyd Warner is the admitted leader of the movement, and his followers include scholars of considerable distinction.' We propose here to examine critically the position of this school. © 1942 The Williams & Wilkins Company.
