Baker explores what racial categories mean to the American public and how these meanings are reinforced by anthropology, popular culture, and the law. Focusing on the period between two landmark Supreme Court decisions-Plessy v. Ferguson (the so-called "separate but equal" doctrine established in 1896) and Brown v. Board of Education (the public school desegregation decision of 1954)-Baker shows how racial categories change over time. Baker paints a vivid picture of the relationships between specific African American and white scholars, who orchestrated a paradigm shift within the social sciences from ideas based on Social Darwinism to those based on cultural relativism. He demonstrates that the greatest impact on the way the law codifies racial differences has been made by organizations such as the NAACP, which skillfully appropriated the new social science to exploit the politics of the Cold War.Racism in anthropologyUnited StatesHistoryAnthropologyUnited StatesHistoryRacism in popular cultureUnited StatesHistoryAfrican AmericansPublic opinionPublic opinionUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsRacism in anthropologyHistory.AnthropologyHistory.Racism in popular cultureHistory.African AmericansPublic opinion.Public opinion305.8Baker Lee D.1966-957068MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828722803321From savage to Negro4115540UNINA
