Stocking is probably the leading authority on Franz Boas; he understands Boas's contributions to American anthropology, as well as anthropology in general, very well. . . . He is, in a word, the foremost historian of anthropology in the world today. . . . The reader is both a collection of Boas's papers and a solid 23-page introduction to giving the background and basic assumptions of Boasian anthropology.\"—David Schneider, University of Chicago \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"While Stocking has not attempted to present a person biography, nevertheless Boas's personal characteristics emerge not only in his scholarly essays, but perhaps more vividly in his personal correspondence. . . . Stocking is to be commended for collecting this material together in a most interesting and enjoyable reader.\"—Gustav Thaiss, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Anthropologist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218370318680,"sku":"9780226062433","price":45.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780226062433.jpg?v=1771307132","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/franz-boas-reader","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
