American Anthropology, 1888-1920
Author: Frederica De Laguna
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803280083
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 860
Book Description
The formative years of American anthropology were characterized by intellectual energy and excitement, the identification of key interpretive issues, and the beginnings of a prodigious amount of fieldwork and recording. The American Anthropological Association (AAA) was born as anthropology emerged as a formal discipline with specialized subfields; fieldwork among Native communities proliferated across North America, yielding a wealth of ethnographic information that began to surface in the flagship journal, the American Anthropologist; and researchers increasingly debated and probed deeper into the roots and significance of ritual, myth, language, social organization, and the physical make-up and prehistory of Native Americans. The fifty-five selections in this volume represent the interests of and accomplishments in American anthropology from the establishment of the American Anthropologist through World War I. The articles in their entirety showcase the state of the subfields of anthropology?archaeology, linguistics, physical anthropology, and cultural anthropology?as they were imagined and practiced at the dawn of the twentieth century. Examples of important ethnographic accounts and interpretive debates are also included. Introducing this collection is a historical overview of the beginnings of American anthropology by A. Irving Hallowell, a former president of the AAA.

Book Description
Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 5 It will be seen that each separate work or paper on the Recent Conchology of North America is taken up, its title and date given, its author's name, and a list of species therein described or in any important manner referred to, together with their synonymy, locality, and the volume, page, plate and figure relating to them. For their value as contributions to our knowledge of geographical distribution I have also quoted all the local lists of species, with out descriptions. General works on Natural History and school books containing notices of conchology are sometimes referred to. They are too numerous and of too little importance to the seien tific student to make it an object to include them all. I have not included the Bryozoa. As it was necessary to draw the line between those to be omitted or quoted among the genera of doubtful position, I have decided to give only those included in the Genera of Recent Mollusca, by H. And A. Adams. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
