"One Discipline, Four Ways" offers the first book-length
introduction to the history of each of the four major traditions in
anthropology-British, German, French, and American. The result of
lectures given by distinguished anthropologists Fredrik Barth,
Andre Gingrich, Robert Parkin, and Sydel Silverman to mark the
foundation of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in
Halle, Germany, this volume not only traces the development of each
tradition but considers their impact on one another and assesses
their future potentials.
Moving from Edward Burnett Tylor all the way through the
development of modern fieldwork, Barth reveals the repressive
tendencies that prevented Britain from developing a variety of
anthropological practices until the late 1960s. Gingrich,
meanwhile, articulates the development of anthropology in German,
paying particular attention to the Nazi period, of which
surprisingly little analysis has been offered until now. Parkin
then assesses the French tradition and, in particular, its
separation of theory and ethnographic practice. Finally, Silverman
traces the formative influence of Franz Boas, the expansion of the
discipline after World War II, and the "fault lines" and promises
of contemporary anthropology in the United States.
