abstract = {In this article, I focus on different strategies of anthropological engagement with government and potential funders. I do so by considering the diverse nature of Alfred Radcliffe-Brown and Bronislaw Malinowski’s encounters with South African authorities, between 1919 and 1934. I suggest that Radcliffe-Brown saw South Africa as an integrated society in which segregation was impossible, and advocated the sympathetic scientific understanding of cultural difference within this context. By contrast, Malinowski was committed to a romantic vision of holistic cultures, collaborated directly with colonial authorities, and argued for a policy of effective cultural and territorial segregation. The strategies had important longterm consequences and costs, calculable only from the privileged vantage point of history.},

abstract = {After World War I there was an international cooperative effort among mission leaders, such as J. H. Oldham and Emory Ross, and African anthropologists, such as Bronislaw Malinowski and Diedrich Westermann to cooperate in the study and understanding of Africa. This was accomplished through books; the activities of the International Institute of African Languages and Cultures and its journal, Africa; and articles in The International Review of Missions, all of which promoted a functionalist approach. Efforts at translating this theory and conveying its ideas to the popular level in order to inform the public and to modify the “Tarzan” stereotypes were the two African film projects sponsored by the American-based Harmon Foundation. These projects produced a series of films intended to portray a more accurate view of Africa to schools, churches, and civic organizations. This article shows the linkages between anthropological and mission theories and the efforts at educating the public.},

abstract = {Recent research into the life and work of Bronislaw Malinowski, one of the most important figures in British social anthropology in the 20th century, has concentrated upon his early life up to and including the years he spent in the Trobriand Islands undertaking his epoch-making fieldwork. However, very little of this research has been into the last decade of his life, especially his work on the impact of imperialism upon Africa’s colonized peoples. The purpose of this article is to extend this interest to his later research by contextualizing, describing and analysing Malinowski’s relationship with King Sobhuza II of Swaziland to whom he was introduced in 1934. I demonstrate that over the following four years, Malinowski sought to assist Sobhuza in regard to a number of matters, most notably his efforts to establish a national school linked to the Swazi age-grade system and his negotiations over the proposed transfer of Swaziland to the Union of South Africa. I argue that Malinowski gave this assistance because Sobhuza personified for him his vision of colonial and even postcolonial Africa which is contained in the largely ignored works of Freedom and Civilization and The Dynamics of Culture Change. Thus, these works reflect not only his background as a Pole in the Hapsburg empire, but also his contemporary experiences of colonial Africa.},
