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 $aRace 606 $aSociology 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 606 $aSociological Theory 606 $aIntellectual History 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aRace. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 14$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 615 24$aSociological Theory. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 676 $a940.5403 676 $a300 (edition:22) 700 $aHazard$b Anthony Q.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392735103321 996 $aBoasians at War$93842129 997 $aUNINA
