Description: Central Sites, Peripheral Visions: Cultural and Institutional Crossings in the History of Anthropology Edited by Richard Handler History of Anthropology Volume 11. Published 2005 by The University of Wisconsin Press. From the dj flap: "Five case studies that explore the dilemmas, moral as well as political, that emerge out of anthropology's unique position as both central and peripheral." "Theses are arresting accounts of ethnological confrontations in sites ranging from sixteenth-century Iceland to the colonial Andamans, and from Boas alongside the Harlem Renaissance to Kroeber in the thick of California land claims. Four substantive, edgy essays are matched with George Stocking's tour-de-force depiction of an 'ordinary' midcentury anthropologist persecuted as a Communist by the FBI..." etc. etc. Thanks for looking.
