Alexander Lesser, one of Franz Boas's finest students, and probably
one of the best of his time in his research on the Plains Indians,
is a brilliant but neglected figure in American anthropology. This
representative selection of Lesser's work is designed to make the
range of his writings accessible to a broad audience. His work is
of particular interest to present-day readers for its advocacy of
an historical-evolutionary perspective in anthropology. Such an
approach, almost unique at the time Lesser was writing, has become
increasingly widely appreciated since. His work is also of interest
for the light it throws on the British 'functionalist' school, and
the effects of their views on American anthropology.
