- Title
Toward a Pragmatist Anthropology of Race.
- Authors
TORRES COLÓN, GABRIEL ALEJANDRO; HOBBS, CHARLES A.
- Abstract
The article examines the intellectual milieu of philosophers John Dewey and Franz Boas to determine the ideal and idealized relationship between critical scholarship and socio-political engagement with race. It discusses Dewey's and Boas's advocacy for an increased role of anthropology for philosophical insight, the difference in views from Boas and Dewey on the problem of racism in the U.S., and the socio-cultural factors that limited Boas's and Dewey's anti-racism.
