Bringing together a collection of 14 studies on the history of
European anthropology, this study looks at a wide variety of
impulses within Europe from the 17th century to the early 20th
century are examined, providing an outline for the periodization of
anthropology. The differences between anthropology, ethnography and
ethnology are fully explored and clarified. Perspectives are given
on the problems of modernism and postmodernism within the subject.
To illustrate these issues, four chapters concentrate in the
influence of four historic figures: Lord Monboddo on the Orang
Outang; H.J. Nieboer on slavery; Malinowski and Witkiewicz on
science versus art in the conceptualization of culture; and
Malinowski's ethnographic method in the field. Finally six chapters
deal with anthropological traditions in Europe, as well as the
influence of Spanish anthropologists in Mexico to illustrate the
construction and restructuring of the profession.
