Reclaiming a Legacy African-American Pioneers in Anthropology is a groundbreaking collection of intellectual biographies that restores the voices of thirteen early African-American anthropologists to the historical record. For decades, the history of anthropology was dominated by European and white American perspectives. This volume, edited by Ira and Faye Harrison, reveals the substantial contributions Black scholars made to the field—often while facing blatant racism and professional exclusion. This text is essential for students of Black History, Sociology, and Anthropology. It covers not just the academic achievements of these pioneers, but their struggles with the "latent and sometimes blatant racism of the times."
