This volume seeks to recover a specific historical moment within
the tradition of anthropologists trained in the United States under
Franz Boas, arguably the father of modern American anthropology.
Focusing on Boasians Ashley Montagu, Margaret Mead, Melville
Herskovits, and Ruth Benedict, Anthony Hazard highlights the extent
to which the Boasians offer historicized explanations of racism
that move beyond a quest to reshape only the discipline: Boasian
war work pointed to the histories of chattel slavery and
colonialism to theorize not just race, but the emergence of racism
as both systemic and interpersonal. The realities of race that
continue to plague the United States have direct ties to the
anthropological work of the figures examined here, particularly
within the context of the 20th-century black freedom struggle.
Ultimately, Boasians at War offers a detailed glimpse of the long
troubled history of the concept of race, along with the real-life
realities of racism, that have carried on despite the harnessing of
scientific knowledge to combat both.
