| Lee D. Baker received his Ph.D. from Temple University, and his research explores the history of anthropology and its role in the U.S. as the science of race and arbiter of culture. He is author of From Savage To Negro: Anthropology and the Construction of Race, 1896-1954 (UC Press 1998); and Life in America: Identity and Everyday Experience (Blackwell 204). Although his main research explores the history of anthropology in the U.S., he is also interested in the Aboriginal experience in Australia, and the African American experience in the U.S.
