INTRODUCTION

JOHN W. BENNETT, 1915-2005

John W. Bennett was born July 18, 1915 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and passed away in St. Louis, February 1, 2005. Dr. Bennett was an internationally acclaimed social anthropologist who, for much of his later career, specialized in ecological and economic problems, especially in agrarian development contexts. He held a distinguished emeritus professorship at Washington University, St. Louis, where he served two terms as Chairman of the Department of Anthropology. He was also affiliated with the University's East Asian Center, and the Technology and Human Affairs Program. He was a Program Associate of the Land Tenure Center of the University of Wisconsin. He began his career at The Ohio State University, where he was instrumental in creating that university’s East Asian Studies Center. Dr. Bennett's most recent research activities centered on a continuing study of agricultural and social development in a semi-arid region of the northern Great Plains, located in Saskatchewan. He directed studies of Amerind, Hutterite, and Euro-Canadian-American settlement of the region, with reference to differing ways of utilizing physical resources in order to establish a viable economy. This work was accompanied by special consultantships with research institutes and government agencies on the general topic of social and behavioral adaptations to limited resources. He was concerned with developing theoretical models for handling behavioral components of agrarian and rural development programs in a number of countries. This work centered on the significance of cooperative and collective resource use systems as measures for spreading risks and controlling abuse of physical resources in regions of limited productivity like Israel, western India, and the northern Great Plains. Dr. Bennett was active in environmental movements and published on environmental pollution in Japan. His interest in Japan extends also to work on modern Japanese society and its development, based on his service as Chief of a social research section in the Japan Occupation. His earliest career interests were in archaeology, and he published numerous pieces on the prehistory of the Middle West of North America. In the background of all his research activity lies an interest in the methods and theory of social science, particularly anthropology. He was author of many books and articles in the fields of both applied and theoretical anthropology, many of which are considered classics in their fields. A recipient of many awards and honors, in 1989 the American Anthropology Association gave him its Award for Distinguished Service, for contributions to both theory and praxis, and in 2004 the Society for Applied Anthropology gave him its Bronislaw Malinowski Award, in recognition of a career dedicated to the understanding of the social sciences and the application of those disciplines to the needs of the peoples of the world. His papers and extensive photographic work are housed here in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library of The Ohio State University. On learning of his death, anthropologist Jerry Moles issued this statement: "A giant has fallen. There was never one like him and never will be in the future. His dedication to things good and true was truly amazing and I'm honored to have known him."

Dr. Bennett married Kathryn G. Bennett in 1940. She was a pioneer in the field of psychiatric social work, and was highly respected in that area. They had two sons, John M. Bennett (“Mike” in these papers) who is an internationally recognized avant garde poet and curator, and James P. Bennett (“Pete” in these papers) who is a widely recognized ecologist and plant scientist. Dr. Bennett lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Columbus, Ohio; Tokyo, Japan; and St. Louis, Missouri. He traveled widely.

This collection includes his professional and personal papers, correspondence, publications, and an extensive archive of his photography. Bennett took photographs throughout his life and travels, and the collection reflects this. It also includes many family photos from several generations, including from his wife’s side of the family (from whom he and his family were largely estranged). In searching the guide for any particular subject, it is recommended you use the “find” function on your browser, as materials on any one topic may be scattered throughout the collection. These materials are arranged primarily in the way that Bennett used them.

On a personal note, I want to say that the wide-ranging interests and enthusiasms of my father, and his true professional and personal generosity, were always a great encouragement to me. Working on this archive of his life and work has only confirmed my admiration for him.
