Book Description
Excerpt from Essays in Historical Anthropology of North America It is a real satisfaction for the Smithsonian Institution to publish this collection Of papers in historical anthropology in honor of Dr. John R. Swanton, on the occasion of his fortieth year with the Institution. Diligence, modesty, and kindliness combine with great ability in his make-up, and lead all his colleagues and friends to love him, at the same time that they honor his scholarship and his basic contributions to American anthropology. While the attractive field Of deductive speculation has in the past lured many American anthropologists, Swanton has been content to gather information and, sifting it, to lay a foundation where others may securely build. Treating particularly the history of cultures and Of tribal movement in the Southeast since the discovery Of America, Swanton's publications in this field will ever be the classic sources, basic to future advances.

North American Indian Anthropology
Author: Raymond J. DeMallie
Publisher: VNR AG
ISBN: 9780806126142
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
These essays explore the blending of structural and historical approaches to American Indian anthropology that characterizes the perspective developed by the late Fred Eggan and his students at the University of Chicago. They include studies of kinship and social organization, politics, religion, law, ethnicity, and art. Many reflect Eggan's method of controlled comparison, a tool for reconstructing social and cultural change over time. Together these essays make substantial descriptive contributions to American Indian anthropology, presenting contemporary interpretations of diverse groups from the Hudson Bay Inuit in the north to the Highland Maya of Chiapas in the south. The collection will serve as an introduction to Native American social and cultural anthropology for readers interested in the dynamics of Indian social life.
