Abstract
In the mid-twentieth century, as mainstream scientific opinion turned away from eugenics and the most explicit versions of race science, two organizations were formed to preserve and continue research in defense of white supremacy. The Pioneer Fund has supported and the journal Mankind Quarterly has published the work of researchers such as Hans Eysenck (University College London), Arthur Jensen (UC Berkeley), and J. Philippe Rushton (University of Western Ontario). In this talk we use text mining methods and Fernández Pinto's analysis of the "tobacco strategy" to examine the ways in which Pioneer and Mankind Quarterly legitimized race science.
