  • Introduction
    Introduction Few Western thinkers have engaged with Indigenous people more closely or reaped greater rewards from that engagement than Franz Boas, the founder of modern anthropology. In the early twentieth century, as the world’s self- declared advanced nations competed to colonize the globe and exploit its natural resources, Boas drew upon what he had learned among Native peoples to present an alternative approach to modernity. Questioning the assumption that the West could claim the prerogative to rule “the rest” by right of natural endowment, Boas critiqued the idea of race, the master concept of colo- nialism. He shaped the modern notion of culture as an interactive process to which each of the world’s peoples has contributed its portion of knowledge. And he framed the idea of grammar as a universal characteristic of human cognition, the borderless ability to structure linguistic meaning. These interre- lated concepts interrogated the standards by which the world measured prog- ress, ultimately projecting visions of a shared global community.1 Today Boas is beginning to undergo a reevaluation.2 This is partly because of his unmistakable importance to contemporary discussions of race, inequality, empire, and migration—conversations emergent from the peoples he worked with and the places he worked in, which coalesce around the vulnerability of the ix x Ned Blackhawk and Isaiah Lorado Wilner biosphere and the problem of human survival. Unlike Karl Marx, Max Weber, or Sigmund Freud, who similarly drew upon the intellectual heritage of

  • What Is Anthropology?
    Chapter 1 What Is Anthropology? nthropology is the scientific study of the origin, the behaviour, and the A physical, social, and cultural development of humans. Anthropologists seek to understand what makes us human by studying human ancestors through archaeological excavation and by observing living cultures throughout the world. In this chapter, you will learn about different fields of anthropology and the major schools of thought, important theories, perspectives, and research within anthropology, as well as the work of influential anthropologists. You’ll also learn methods for conducting anthropological research and learn how to formulate your own research questions and record information. Chapter Expectations By the end of this chapter, you will: • summarize and compare major theories, perspectives, and research methods in anthropology • identify the significant contributions of influential anthropologists • outline the key ideas of the major anthropological schools of thought, and explain how they can be used to analyze features of cultural systems Fields of Anthropology • explain significant issues in different areas of anthropology Primatology Dian Fossey (1932–1985) • explain the main research methods for conducting anthropological Physical Anthropology Archaeology Cultural Anthropology research Biruté Galdikas (1946–) Jane Goodall (1934–) Sue Savage-Rumbaugh (1946–) Archaeology Forensic Human Variation Ethnology Linguistic Anthropology Key Terms Prehistoric Anthropology Charles Darwin Ruth Benedict (1887–1948) Noam Chomsky

  • Intellectual Roots of Key Anthropologists
    SELECTIONS FROM ASSESSING CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY Robert Borofsky, editor (1994) New York: McGraw-Hill FREDRIK BARTH is currently Research Fellow under the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Professor of Anthropology at Emory University. He has previously taught at the universities of Oslo and Bergen, and as a visitor at various American departments of anthropology. He has carried out research in a number of areas, starting in the Middle East with a focus on tribal politics and ecology. His best known works from this period are: Political Leadership among Swat Pathans (1959), Nomads of South Persia (1961), Models of Social Organization (1964), and the edited work Ethnic Groups and Boundaries (1969). Later, he has also done fieldwork in New Guinea and Southeast Asia, and among his publications are Ritual and Knowledge among the Baktaman of New Guinea (1975) and Cosmologies in the Making (1987). A monograph entitled Balinese Worlds will appear in 1993. "After a wartime childhood in Norway, I started at the University of Chicago with an interest in paleontology and human evolution. But the active and rich teaching program of Fred Eggan, Sol Tax, Robert Redfield and others broadened my intellectual horizon and led, after an interlude on a dig in Iraq with Bob Braidwood, to my choice of social anthropology as the focus of my work. My foundations derived indirectly from Radcliffe-Brown, who had taught my teachers during the 1930s. "Like many of my Chicago cohort, I went on to further studies in England. I chose the L.S.E. Autobiographies: 2 and developed a life-long association with Raymond Firth and, even more importantly, with Edmund Leach, whom I later followed to Cambridge for my Ph.D.

The distinguished lecture and reception on Friday are in the Great River Ballroom on Level 1. The business lunch on Saturday is in the Windows Room on the 22nd floor. Two break-out sessions are in Kellogg 1 on the Lobby Level. CSAS Welcomes You to Its 2015 Annual Meeting! Welcome to the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Central States Anthropological Society. This is our 94th meeting, and of all the sections of the American Anthropological Association, we are the oldest (almost as old as the AAA itself). While our past may not be exactly as glorious as an historical romance novel, it's certainly been illustrious, and has at various times sheltered some of the most notable names in the history of anthropology, from Fay-Cooper Cole, Leslie White, Edward Sapir, and Oscar Lewis. So from its very beginnings, the CSAS has taken the four-field approach to the discipline, as initially advocated by Franz Boas, very seriously. In this so-called postmodernist, poststructuralist, post-industrialized, transnational, globally-interconnected world—which ironically has seen the splintering of many academic disciplines (including, at times, anthropology)—it is consoling to know that there are still places where linguists can see the value in talking to biologists, and ethnographers dig archaeologists. The CSAS offers such a venue—where professionals and students alike can engage in thought-provoking and focused debate in a respectful and unpretentious atmosphere.

  • Captives of the Dark and Bloody Ground: Identity, Race, and Power in the Contested American South
    CAPTIVES OF THE DARK AND BLOODY GROUND: IDENTITY, RACE, AND POWER IN THE CONTESTED AMERICAN SOUTH Christina Nicole Snyder A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Michael D. Green Theda Perdue Kathleen A. DuVal Vincas P. Steponaitis Harry L. Watson ©2007 Christina Nicole Snyder ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Christina Snyder, “Captives of the Dark and Bloody Ground: Identity, Race, and Power in the Contested American South” (Under the direction of Michael Green and Theda Perdue) In this dissertation, I use the lens of captivity to explore how Native Southerners defined themselves and the other. Before they encountered one another in the colonial era, the peoples of Africa, Europe, and North America considered enslavement a legitimate fate for captured enemy peoples, though their attitudes about the status and roles of captives differed. In the South during the colonial and early national periods, violent conflict often erupted as Indian nations labored to maintain their territorial integrity and political autonomy, Euro-Americans desired to control Indian land and African labor, and Africans sought freedom. During such episodes, Native groups took enemies—white, black, and Indian—as captives. Victors then subjected their captives to a variety of fates: they ritually killed some to satisfy the demands of clan vengeance; they adopted others to replace deceased family members; they made chattel slaves out of the remainder. Throughout the colonial period, Native Southerners largely determined a captive’s fate based on his or her sex and age.

  • Museums, Native American Representation, and the Public
    MUSEUMS, NATIVE AMERICAN REPRESENTATION, AND THE PUBLIC: THE ROLE OF MUSEUM ANTHROPOLOGY IN PUBLIC HISTORY, 1875-1925 By Nathan Sowry Submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of American University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences July 12, 2020 Date 2020 American University Washington, D.C. 20016 © COPYRIGHT by Nathan Sowry 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED For Leslie, who has patiently listened to me, aided me, and supported me throughout this entire process. And for my parents, David Sowry and Rebecca Lash, who have always encouraged the pursuit of learning. MUSEUMS, NATIVE AMERICAN REPRESENTATION, AND THE PUBLIC: THE ROLE OF MUSEUM ANTHROPOLOGY IN PUBLIC HISTORY, 1875-1925 BY Nathan Sowry ABSTRACT Surveying the most influential U.S. museums and World’s Fairs at the turn of the twentieth century, this study traces the rise and professionalization of museum anthropology during the period now referred to as the Golden Age of American Anthropology, 1875-1925. Specifically, this work examines the lives and contributions of the leading anthropologists and Native collaborators employed at these museums, and charts how these individuals explained, enriched, and complicated the public’s understanding of Native American cultures. Confronting the notion of anthropologists as either “good” or “bad,” this study shows that the reality on the ground was much messier and more nuanced. Further, by an in-depth examination of the lives of a host of Native collaborators who chose to work with anthropologists in documenting the tangible and intangible cultural heritage materials of Native American communities, this study complicates the idea that anthropologists were the sole creators of representations of American Indians prevalent in museum exhibitions, lectures, and publications.
