Tracking Anthropological Engagements Reviews

Since 2006, Regna Darnell and Frederic Gleach have curated an important collection of anthropological history with their Histories of Anthropology annual series. This book, the twelfth in this series, collects essays spanning topics ranging from sixteenth-century missionary encounters with the Other to fragments from a twenty-first-century anthropologist's memoir. The breadth of topic and analysis curated in this series has always been a strength of these volumes, and this latest installment continues this tradition.-David H. Price, Journal of Anthropological Research
The chapters in this eclectic volume span sixteenth-century traveler accounts, the 1892 International Exhibition, a meeting between Boas and Freud, a previously unrecognized Jewish anthropologist in Austria under national socialism, several Cold War controversies, and a digital indigenous-civic collaborative history project. One of the gems is a personal retrospective by the late Anthony Wallace published here for the first time. This volume contributes to cultural studies and the history of science, revealing hitherto unrecognized entanglements between anthropology and the personal, social, and political conditions that continue to shape its elaboration.-M. Eleanor Nevins, associate professor of anthropology at Middlebury College and author of Lessons from Fort Apache: Beyond Language Endangerment and Maintenance
