From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology in the Third Reich
“From Racism to Genocideis an original and important piece of scholarship based on never-before-published archival material. The analysis of the supporting role played by the anthropological sciences in the creation of Nazi racial and genocidal policies is painfully relevant for us today.”--Bettina Arnold, associate professor of anthropology, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee"An informative textbook with a clear message about scientific responsibility and morality. . . . The author should be praised."--Patterns of Prejudice"A truly significant work, including important material overlooked by most scholars. Whereas scientists cherish a self-image of objectivity, the controversial--yet convincing--conclusions about German anthropologists inFrom Racism to Genocideshould be met with great interest by scholars who have concerns about corruption of science for political purposes." --Adrian M. Wenner, professor emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara"This careful depiction of anthropological complicity with Nazi genocide is fascinating and provocative. With so many anthropologists struggling now to create a more politically engaged discipline, this is a timely and important work." --William L. Leap, author ofWord’s Out: Gay Men's English
