Abstract
Cold War Social Science assembles some of the most compelling voices in the history of social science today. Its unifying problem is how the Cold War engaged American social science. The volume covers a broad range of disciplines with a preference for psychology, sociology and anthropology, and their interstices. It opens with David Engerman's study of the Russian Research Center at Harvard University and closes with Marga Vicedo's study of psychoanalytic accounts of motherly love as anticommunist weaponry. The two bookends encapsulate the book's answer to its set problem.
