Real National Work’
This article analyses the political and scientific controversy surrounding a race science project undertaken by the anthropologist Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt under National Socialism. Beginning in 1934, Eickstedt and his team of assistants conducted a series of racial studies on the population of Upper Silesia, a contested borderland in East Prussia. Motivated by a nationalist desire to counter the work of Polish anthropologists in the region, E…
"Most Unusual" Beauty Contests
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, professional anthropologists and prominent race scientists in Germany served as judges in a series of mail-in photographic competitions designed to identify the most representative examples of the so-called Nordic race. This essay examines the interactions between judges and audience in three of these contests. Race scientists and entrants collaborated to construct a vision of the Nordic race as primarily male a…
Michael F. Robinson. The Lost White Tribe
Michael F. Robinson’s deeply engaging book The Lost White Tribe: Explorers, Scientists, and the Theory That Changed a Continent begins with an encounter: in 1876, the explorer Henry Morton Stanley met a group of Africans near the Ruwenzori Mountains—in what today is Uganda—who he claimed had white skin and European facial features. Stanley’s description of this encounter, published by the New York Herald while he was still in Africa, created a se…
The Meaning of Race
This chapter examines the pre-war ideological context in German anthropological circles. Despite the encroachment of völkisch and racist strains of thought around the turn of the century, the liberal precepts of Virchow and his followers continued to inform anthropological work in the laboratory, the field, and the lecture hall. Even as the liberal tradition slipped from its previous position as the dominant paradigm, it persisted within the disc…
Institutionalizing the “Most Recent Science”
This chapter explores the development of anthropological institutions in the late nineteenth century and their place within the wider world of Germany after 1900. During this period, physical anthropologists experienced difficulty establishing firm anchors in the German university system, which had little use for their science, or in ethnographic museums, where ethnology already dominated.
Robert L. Nelson. German Soldier Newspapers of the First World War
In this engaging study, Robert L. Nelson asks a question that has long intrigued scholars of World War I: why did German soldiers continue to fight until 1918? He looks for the answer in German soldiers' newspapers, a curious form of wartime journalism produced for, and often by, the men in the trenches. In papers that ranged from crude pamphlets to polished regimental journals, he finds a discursive world of rich complexity, shot through with as…

Kant, Herder, and the birth of anthropology; Anthropology and antihumanism in Imperial Germany
This essay review examines two recent books exploring the intersection of anthropology, history, and philosophy in late 18th- and early 19th-century Germany. The first, by Ulrich Dierse, focuses on Kant's influence on the nascent field of anthropology, arguing that his philosophical framework shaped early anthropological inquiries into human nature and cultural diversity. The second book, by Andrew Zimmerman, delves into the complex relationship …
