World War II’s Long Shadow
-
Published:April 2016
The second chapter examines the impacts of the Second World War on anthropology and the world at large. As anthropologists and young Americans who would soon study anthropology under the GI Bill returned to campuses soon marked by the Cold War, many Americans continued to interpret the early Cold War’s political developments with views linked more closely to the world of the previous war. Postwar changes on campus, anthropologists contributions to the Marshall Plan, and the Japanese occupation found anthropologists continuing many of the research trajectories developed during the war, with little thought about the shifting political context of the Cold War.
