Powdermaker (1900-1970) was a pioneer in anthropological research on race, class, and gender in the US; an introductory essay sets her work in context and explains the continuing value of After Freedom . The work itself is an attempt to describe and analyze American attitudes and behavior, viewed from a cultural perspective and from the vantage point of a Mississippi Delta community in the 1930s.
