Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropology and Modern Life ON november 17, 1961, the Council of Fellows of the American Anthropological Association meeting at Philadelphia, the cradle of American democracy, passed this resolution, thus once more providing scientific support for those fighters for equality and brotherhood for whom democracy is a moral issue. At this moment Of history when the Specter of racism is once more walking abroad, it is especially fortunate and appropriate to have reissued in a popular edition the definitive statement on race and culture by the man who more than anyone else was responsible for providing the conceptual framework and scientific underpinnings for the anthropological position on this important con temporary problem. Franz Boas wrote Anthropology and Modern Life as a declaration of faith after more than thirty years Of research in the field Of race and culture. An earlier publication on the same theme was translated into German (kultur and Rome, Leipzig, 1914) and was eventually honored by a prominent place in the Nazi auto-da-fe.

The author covers varied and diverse areas of study: ethnicity, including a lengthy discussion of the concepts of ‘race’ and ‘nationality’; criminology, and the importance of hereditary and environmental factors in producing criminals; education, and the associated issues of gender, class, and what would now be called ‘brainwashing’; and also the comparison between ‘modern’ and ‘primitive’ cultures, taking note of the development of socio-political institutions such as marriage and property.

Book Synopsis Anthropology and Modern Life by : Franz Boas
Download or read book Anthropology and Modern Life written by Franz Boas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-03-28 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franz Boas (1858–1942) is widely regarded as the founder of American anthropology. He influenced an astonishing variety of scholars and researchers, from the anthropologists Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict, to the philosopher W. E. B. DuBois, and novelist Zora Neale Hurston. Towards the end of his life he also lectured widely in an attempt to educate the public on the dangers of Nazi ideology. Anthropology and Modern Life demonstrates the incredibly rich and fertile range of Boas’s thought, engaging with controversies that resonate loudly today: the problem of race and racial types; heredity versus environment; the significance of intelligence tests; open versus closed societies; the ‘nature versus nurture debate’; and nationality and nationalism. Believing passionately that science should be used to break down racial and cultural barriers, from the book's very opening Boas shatters the myth that anthropology is simply a collection of ‘curious facts about exotic peoples’. Thanks to Boas's influence, anthropologists and other social scientists began to see that differences among the races resulted not from physiological factors, but from historical events and circumstances, and that race itself was a cultural construct. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Regna Darnell and an Introduction and Afterword by Herbert S. Lewis, who details Franz Boas's life, influence, and ideals. "In writing the present book I desired to show that some of the most firmly rooted opinions of our times appear from a wider point of view as prejudices, and that a knowledge of anthropology enables us to look with greater freedom at the problems confronting our civilization." - Franz Boas, Anthropology and Modern Life
Download or read book Mirror for Man written by Clyde Kluckhohn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the world has undoubtedly been shrinking, at the same time it has grown more complex. The likelihood of culture clashes leading to outright conflict is high, perhaps higher than ever. As Andrea L. Smith convincingly argues in her new introduction to this classic work, certain questions are as valid today as in 1949, when Mirror for Man was first published. Can anthropology break down prejudices that exist between peoples and nations? Can knowledge of past human behavior help solve the world’s modern problems? What effect will American attitudes likely have on the future of the world? In Mirror for Man, Clyde Kluckhohn scrutinizes anthropology, showing how the discipline can contribute to the reconciliation of conflicting cultures. He questions age-old race theories, shows how people came to be as they are, and examines limitations in how human beings can be molded. Taking up one of the most vital questions in the post-World War II world, whether international order can be achieved by domination, Kluckhohn demonstrates that cultural clashes drive much of the world’s conflict, and shows how we can help resolve it if only we are willing to work for joint understanding. By interpreting human behavior, Kluckhohn reveals that anthropology can make a practical contribution through its predictive power in the realm of politics, social attitudes, and group psychology. Andrea L. Smith’s new introduction provides convincing evidence for the continuing importance of one of the earliest “public intellectuals.”

In its present form the volume is intended as the basis for study in courses of instruction in general anthropology. Any library will provide collateral and special reading.

Book Synopsis Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary by : Paul Rabinow
Download or read book Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary written by Paul Rabinow and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compact volume two of anthropology’s most influential theorists, Paul Rabinow and George E. Marcus, engage in a series of conversations about the past, present, and future of anthropological knowledge, pedagogy, and practice. James D. Faubion joins in several exchanges to facilitate and elaborate the dialogue, and Tobias Rees moderates the discussions and contributes an introduction and an afterword to the volume. Most of the conversations are focused on contemporary challenges to how anthropology understands its subject and how ethnographic research projects are designed and carried out. Rabinow and Marcus reflect on what remains distinctly anthropological about the study of contemporary events and processes, and they contemplate productive new directions for the field. The two converge in Marcus’s emphasis on the need to redesign pedagogical practices for training anthropological researchers and in Rabinow’s proposal of collaborative initiatives in which ethnographic research designs could be analyzed, experimented with, and transformed. Both Rabinow and Marcus participated in the milestone collection Writing Culture: The Poetics and Politics of Ethnography. Published in 1986, Writing Culture catalyzed a reassessment of how ethnographers encountered, studied, and wrote about their subjects. In the opening conversations of Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary, Rabinow and Marcus take stock of anthropology’s recent past by discussing the intellectual scene in which Writing Culture intervened, the book’s contributions, and its conceptual limitations. Considering how the field has developed since the publication of that volume, they address topics including ethnography’s self-reflexive turn, scholars’ increased focus on questions of identity, the Public Culture project, science and technology studies, and the changing interests and goals of students. Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary allows readers to eavesdrop on lively conversations between anthropologists who have helped to shape their field’s recent past and are deeply invested in its future.
Book Synopsis Introduction to Anthropology (Classic Reprint) by : Theodor Waitz
Download or read book Introduction to Anthropology (Classic Reprint) written by Theodor Waitz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Anthropology There has hitherto been no work in the English lan guage on Anthropology which could be recommended as a text-book for travellers and students generally. Since the time of Prichard no work has issued from the press of this country of general utility. There have been many special treatises, but none at all comparable to the present volume. In America, the important and comprehensive Works of N ott. And Gliddon have helped to supply a want but they are so violent in opinion, and there is such a uni versal impression that they were written with an object, that their value as text-books is very much lessened. Dr. \vaitz shares with many authors, a suspicion that these works were written toprove the distinct origin of superior and inferior races of mankind, and at times, perhaps, he fails to do the American authors justice. The present work has rarely been noticed in this country but in France it has been freely criticised. It has also been well received in Germany, and Dr. Waitz's firmest theoretical opponents have willingly admitted the zeal, immense research, and erudition he has shown in the collation of his materials. Neither is it written in a narrow party spirit, but the author is candid and im partial, and the whole tone of his work is characteristic of a truly philosophical mind.

Book Synopsis Anthropology and Modern Life by : Franz Boas
Download or read book Anthropology and Modern Life written by Franz Boas and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this insightful study, Frank Boas connects aspects of human history with their manifestation in the modern world, describing such topics as race relations, nationalism and education. When this book was first published in the 1920s, the United States was grappling with racial tensions, with heightening discrimination against black Americans. As such Boas leads with the topic of race, exploring the cultural contrasts that occur between different races. The relationship between a person's country, and the ideology of nationalism, is explored. Ideas of eugenics, whereby humans breed according to desired traits, are investigated and their limitations explained. Later in the book, concepts such as crime in modern society, and concepts of cultural stability are examined. Frank Boas is commonly described as the 'Father of American Anthropology', in that he pioneered means of understanding the present of North America through the lens of its past. Noted for his strong opposition to pseudoscientific beliefs that sought to affirm faulty notions of racial superiority, Boas was likewise famous for asserting that no culture could be ranked as objectively better or worse - a concept known as cultural relativism. Ideas of evolving refinement, whereby a culture grows more sophisticated with age and interactions between people, are energetically dismissed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Studies Whatever shortcomings may be discovered in the volume must be attributed to want of skill in the writer rather than to lack of interest in the subject matters treated, which, being selected from what may be looked upon as the romance of Anthropology, cannot fail to attract readers who have any taste for the pre historic development Of the human race, as illustrated not only by the discoveries Of archaeologists in the graves of long-forgotten races; but also by the manners and customs of the savages of to-day, who may be held to continue the slow march Of the ancient world, in the rear of the whirl and confusion of the army of modern progressionists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Anthropology To this extent, then, I see no division in my task. I have, however, to remind the reader that I am not by training a philosopher but a social anthropologist and I cannot finally hope to offer more than the material upon which a philosopher might work. Given the relatively short scope allowed to this essay I have been obliged to choose some device which would enable me to perform the task proposed In the most economical manner. I shall therefore discuss the development of social anthropology in time and I shall see that development as the constant interaction of speculation about man in society, on the one hand, and the observation of man in society, on the other. I shall suggest that the tendency in either the empirical or speculative approach to claim a monopoly of truth has called for a corrective from the other, and that the distinct ive manner in which this opposition has been transcended constitutes the individuality of social anthropology today.
