Anthropology as a Subversive Art: A Review of Through These Eyes:
JAY RUBY
This is a review of the film Through These Eyes, by Charles Laird. The film explores the historical moment during the Cold War in which the National Science Foundation funded educational curricula and programs to advance education in the sciences. Through These Eyes focuses on the history of one course of study as a part of these programs, a year-long course called "Man, a Course of Study" that presented fifth-grade students with materials designed to have them explore what it means to be a human being, by combining biology, primatology, and some anthropology.
