Abstract

Lee deftly connects how Brinton's work on the supposed natural inequalities of the races resonated with the line of thought articulated by the Supreme Court when it interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment in I Plessy v. Ferguson. When I was a graduate student pursuing my master's degree in anthropology at the New School, Lee Baker visited our department as part of our lecture series. He discussed the work of Daniel Brinton, an influential white male ethnologist who served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in the late nineteenth century and a key figure in Dr. Baker's larger monograph.
