Man Against Myth

The publication of Man Against Myth in 1947 was received with critical acclaim and won high praise from some of the best minds of the time. The book demolishes a series of deeply entrenched social myths such as the ' Rich are fit and the poor unfit'; 'There are superior and inferior races'; and ' You cannot be free and safe'. The perpetuation of such myths, the book argues, has been beneficial to the interests of a privileged few and has worked to justify inequality and impeded human progress in society. Written with sensitivity and wit, Man Against Myth conveys a powerful message that continues to resonate in contemporary times.
