About this product
Product Information
This biography of the Polish British anthropologist Maria Czaplicka (1884-1921) is also a cultural study of the dynamics of the anthropological collective presented from a researcher-centric perspective. Czaplicka, together with Bronislaw Malinowski, studied anthropology in London and later at Oxford, then she headed the Yenisei Expedition to Siberia (1914 - 15) and was the first female lecturer of anthropology at Oxford. She was an engaged feminist and an expert on political issues in Northern Asia and Eastern Europe. But this remarkable woman's career was cut short by suicide. Like many women anthropologists of the time, Czaplicka journeyed through various academic institutions, and her legacy has been dispersed and her field materials lost. Grazyna Kubica covers the major events in Czaplicka's life and provides contextual knowledge about the intellectual formation in which Czaplicka grew up, including the Warsaw radical intelligentsia and the contemporary anthropology of which she became a part. Kubica also presents a critical analysis of Czaplicka's scientific and literary works, related to the issues of gender, shamanism, and race. Kubica shows how Czaplicka's sense of agency and subjectivity enriched and shaped the practice of anthropology and sheds light on how scientific knowledge arises and is produced.

Reviews
"Grazyna Kubica has provided us with an excellent study that combines a feminist social history with biographical research and directs our attention at an enigmatic figure standing at a critical juncture in the history of anthropology. In this lively and well-researched portrait of Czaplicka, an early transnational actor in the study of Siberia and beyond, Kubika has taken an important step toward providing an inclusive genealogy of our discipline."--Peter Schweitzer, professor of social and cultural anthropology at the University of Vienna, "Grazyna Kubica examines Maria Czaplicka's scientific legacy in this page-turning history of anthropology during wartime Britain. One review of Czaplicka's account of her 1915 Siberian expedition proclaimed that she 'could not be dull if she tried.' Kubica offers a full and fitting tribute to Czaplicka's indomitable spirit, her contributions to continuing debates, and the meaning of a truncated life in anthropology."--Sally Cole, professor of sociology and anthropology at Concordia College and author of Ruth Landes: A Life in Anthropology, "Where Kubica's book makes the most unique contribution is in its discussion of Czaplicka's Polish background-both her academic affiliation with the Polish Radical Intelligentsia in chapter 4 and more uniquely still, in the discussion of her literary outputs in chapter 6-both contexts offer a fresh perspective on the international and interdisciplinary nature of the emerging discipline of Anthropology and Kubica is perfectly placed to tease out the nuances of political, national, and academic influences that shaped this new science."--Jaanika Vider, Anthropos, "Grazyna Kubica examines Maria Czaplicka's unfinished scientific legacy in this page-turner history of anthropology during wartime Britain. One review of Czaplicka's account of her 1915 Siberian expedition proclaimed that she 'could not be dull if she tried.' Kubica offers a full and fitting tribute to Czaplicka's indomitable spirit, her contributions to continuing debates, and the meaning of a truncated life in anthropology."--Sally Cole, professor of sociology and anthropology at Concordia College and author of Ruth Landes: A Life in Anthropology, "Grazyna Kubica has written a book significant in size and rich in material. . . . Written in a clear, convincing style, it engages the reader from the start. It will be of interest not only to cultural anthropologists but also to readers interested in the humanities and feminism. This book is an outstanding scholarly achievement."--Ewa Dzurak, Polish Review
