This book offers new insights into the complex relationships between science, society, and power during the heyday of French imperialism and European racism. It takes us back to the formative years of French anthropology and social theory from the 1850s to 1900s. It examines the rebirth of anthropology—called ethnology—in Paris and the French colonies before and after World War I, and considers the fate of the discipline under and after the German occupation. It explores the influence of academia, museum collections, and imperial connections on the definition of human diversity from a sociocultural perspective, especially in relation to the resurgence of anti-Semitism.

In the Museum of Man is a gripping account of the collaborative work of scholars who came to understand that all societies are equally complex. Although scientific expertise once sanctioned racism, anthropologists learned to rethink their concepts and challenge racial bias.
