DESCRIPTION:Updating Engels: Why Engels Was Right, Why Engels Was Wrong. (Free 
 teach-in)\nLed by Gene Ruyle, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Cal 
 State Long Beach. Marx and Engels were keen students of the Anthropology of 
 their day, but Anthropology has made significant progress since the 
 Nineteenth Century. This workshop will cover some of the achievements of 
 Anthropology which Marx and Engels would surely study if they were writing 
 today. In particular, we will consider the relativist revolution led by 
 Franz Boas in the early twentieth century as well as cultural evolutionists 
 such as V. Gordon Childe, Julian Steward, Leslie White, and Gerhard Lenski. 
 Suggested readings include Eleanor Leacock’s "Introduction" to the 1972 
 edition (International Publishers) of Engels, Origin of the Family, Private 
 Property, and the State, and Ruyle’s article, “Anthropology for 
 Marxists,” available on his website, cuyleruyle.com.\n\n
