Capturing Kahanamoku : How a Surfing Legend and a Scientific Obsession Redefined Race and Culture.
In the 1920's, Henry Fairfield Osborn, a fervent eugenicist and the director of the American Museum of Natural History went to Hawaii to learn how to surf. His teacher was Duke Kahanamoku, the famous surfer. Osborn became obsessed with Kahanamoku, physically perfect, yet belonging to an 'imperfect' race. What happened next changed how we think about race, culture, science, and humanity.
