Abstract
This number of the Savage Minds Occasional Paper Series presents an edited version of Edward Sapir's essay "Culture, Genuine and Spurious." “Culture, Genuine and Spurious” is worth reading for several reasons: it demonstrates the way anthropological theory can be applied to ethical issues; it exemplifies the way Boasians founded public anthropology by weighing in on the great issues of their day alongside cultural critics like Randolph Bourne or George Seldes; it gives us insights into the opinions of Boasians on cultural imperialism and the exploitation of labor; and above all, it presents us with a set of questions -- and answers -- that are as relevant today as they were eighty years ago.
