Free Download Frederico Delgado Rosa, "Ethnographers Before Malinowski: Pioneers of Anthropological Fieldwork, 1870-1922"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1800735316 | PDF | pages: 541 | 100.7 mb
Focusing on some of the most important ethnographers in early anthropology, this volume explores twelve defining works in the foundational period from 1870 to 1922. It challenges the assumption that intensive fieldwork and monographs based on it emerged only in the twentieth century. What has been regarded as the age of armchair anthropologists was in reality an era of active ethnographic fieldworkers, including women practitioners and Indigenous experts. Their accounts have multiple layers of meaning, style, and content that deserve fresh reading. This reference work is a vital source for rewriting the history of anthropology.
