Opis

The social history of British anthropology, 1885-1945. This book shows how the descriptions British anthropologists produced about the peoples of exotic cultures can be translated into commentaries on their own society.

Recenzje

"For programmatic crises de coeur and jargonized intuitions, Kuklick has substituted a methodologically aware, finely tuned study of historical evidence. This work deserves a smooth passage into postgraduate reading lists wherever they mention Kuhn and the strange ways of 'science.'" Gerhard Baumann, Journal of Anthropological Research
