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. . 606 $aEthnology 606 $aEthnicity 606 $aHistorical sociology 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aSocial Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030 606 $aEthnicity Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22180 606 $aHistorical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22130 606 $aIntellectual Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/729000 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aEthnicity. 615 0$aHistorical sociology. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 14$aSocial Anthropology. 615 24$aEthnicity Studies. 615 24$aHistorical Sociology. 615 24$aIntellectual Studies. 676 $a940.5403 676 $a300 (edition:22) 700 $aHazard$b Anthony Q$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01528880 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392735103321 996 $aBoasians at War$93842129 997 $aUNINA
