Critical reading in the History of Anthropology

Abstract

    The appearance of anthropology as a new science was coincided with the beginning of the colonial movements, and this has lead to the deviation of this ideology from its right track. This ideological trend has become a tool in the hand of the colonialism. So, has anthropology contributed to give the excuse to the colonialism? or, did the colonialism give the opportunity to anthropology to be applied in the field after the disappearance of primitive societies?
