This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the social history
of anthropology in the United States, examining the circumstances
that gave rise to the discipline and illuminating the role of
anthropology in the modern world. Thomas C. Patterson considers the
shifting social and political-economic conditions in which
anthropological knowledge has been produced and deployed, the
appearance of practices focused on particular regions or groups,
the place of anthropology in structures of power, and the role of
the educator in forging, perpetuating, and changing representations
of past and contemporary peoples. The book addresses the negative
reputation that anthropology took on as an offspring of
imperialism, and provides fascinating insight into the social
history of America. In this second edition, the material has been
revised and updated, including a new chapter that covers
anthropological theory and practice during the turmoil created by
multiple ongoing crises at the beginning of the twenty-first
century. This is valuable reading for students and scholars
interested in the origins, development, and theory of anthropology.
