Publisher Synopsis
Winner of the 2019 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize for an Edition, Anthology, or Essay Collection"With fresh perspectives, this superb collection delves deep into Boas's mind and method and sheds new light on the influence of his relationship with Indigenous peoples on his world-shaping ideas."- Taiaiake Alfred, University of Victoria"Stunning. A revelatory and transformative volume for our understanding of what Boas became, thanks to the instruction of his indigenous compatriots and what anthropology might aspire to. No ethnographer should be allowed out the door without having taken its lessons to heart." -James C. Scott, Yale University"This landmark collection offers a pioneering model for all intellectual historians, showing native peoples to be "agents of their own forms of globalization" who shaped some of our most distinctive commitments."- Samuel Moyn, coeditor of Global Intellectual History Winner of the 2019 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize for an Edition, Anthology, or Essay Collection -- 2019 MSA Book Prize for an Edition, Anthology, or Essay * Modern Studies Association * Read more...
