Product Description

Review

Simply put, there is a great theoretical need for a text that explicitly examines the Cold War anthropology ... Wax is forward thinking theoretically and practically ... [he] knows the literature on the Cold War. --William Peace, author of 'Leslie A. White: Evolution and Revolution in Anthropology', independent scholar and contributer to the Nation

'For Marxist anthropologists this book is a valuable insight into the baggage that materialism carries within the discipline.[...] For others interested in Marxist theory and history it is a fascinating study in the political nature of ideas, and the terrible consequences of mechanical and deterministic approaches to Marxism.' --Penny Howard, Socialist Review


Product Description

This book breaks new ground in the history of anthropology, opening up an explicit examination of anthropology in the Cold War era. With historical distance, Cold War anthropology has begun to emerge as a distinct field within the discipline. This book brings a number of different approaches to bear on the questions raised by anthropology's Cold War history. The contributors show how anthropologists became both tools and victims of the Cold War state during the rise of the United States in the post-War period. Examining the intersection between science and power, this book is a compelling read for anthropologists, historians, sociologists, and anyone interested in the way in which colonial and neo-colonial knowledge is produced and constructed.
