Reviews for The Funding of Scientific Racism: Wickliffe Draper and the Pioneer Fund
Honorable Mention, PSP Awards for Excellence in Professional/Scholarly Publishing, 2002. "The Funding of Scientific Racism is compelling and readable. Tucker demolishes the threadbare defenses the Pioneer Fund and its supporters have concocted over the last two decades."
Barry Mehler, founder and executive director of the Institute for the Study of Academic Racism
