This dissertation explores the biographies of two pioneering anthropologists, Margaret Mead (1901-1978) and Gregory Bateson (1904-1980), between the years 1930 and 1950. By tracing their life and work, it investigates how they helped transform anthropology as a discipline, both methodologically and theoretically, and how they applied their anthropological expertise in engineering the attitudes of the American people during the Second World War.
