Summary: The idea of a union of education and anthropology first caught my imagination some twenty-five years ago when my studies of education in National Socialist Germany brought me to grips with questions of race and culture. My mentor then was Bronislaw Malinowski. As it happened, our conferences proved mutually beneficial, for in helping me see the potential fruitfulness of anthropology for education, he himself came to appreciate better what education could contribute to his own subject.
