A compelling study that charts the influence of Indigenous thinkers
on Franz Boas, the founder of modern anthropology In 1911, the
publication of Franz Boas's The Mind of Primitive Man challenged
widely held claims about race and intelligence that justified
violence and inequality. Now, a group of leading scholars examines
how this groundbreaking work hinged on relationships with a global
circle of Indigenous thinkers who used Boasian anthropology as a
medium for their ideas. Contributors also examine how Boasian
thought intersected with the work of major modernist figures,
demonstrating how ideas of diversity and identity sprang from
colonization and empire.
