History
Sol Tax was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1907. Tax received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1935 where he became a professor until his retirement. He developed what he called "Action Anthropology," a school of anthropological thought that favoured co-equal goals of "learning and helping" from studied cultures. He was the lead organizer of the 1961 American Indian Chicago Conference. He also founded the academic journal Current Anthropology in 1959 and editor between 1960 and 1974. He established the journal as a means of communication amongst anthropologists during the Cold War.
