Synopsis
For this collection, Stocking has written comments on each of the eight essays included, as well as an introduction providing autobiographical and historiographical context and an afterword reconsidering major themes of the essays in relation to the recent past and present situation of academic anthropology. The essays themselves address the work and influence of Franz Boas and Bronislaw Malinowski; anthropology's powerfully mythic aspect and persistent strain of romantic primitivism; the contradictions of its relationship to the larger sociopolitical sphere; its problematic integration of a variety of natural scientific and humanistic inquiries; and the tension between its scientific aspirations and its subjectively acquired "data."

    Completely satisfied, this book was exactly as represent in quality and, in my opinion, better in condition/ appearance than stated...entire transaction was professional, fast and friendly with good communication...packaging was adequate, with the item arriving in excellent condition...A+ seller. (Please allow me to take this opportunity to say that A+ should suffice as the highest recommendation. The excessive use of the letter A and plus signs degrades the accuracy of the appraisal system)
