In the West at the turn of the twentieth century, public
understanding of science and the world was shaped in part by
expeditions to Asia, North America, and the Pacific. The
Anthropology of Expeditions draws together contributions from
anthropologists and historians of science to explore the role of
these journeys in natural history and anthropology between
approximately 1890 and 1930. By examining collected materials as
well as museum and archive records, the contributors to this volume
shed light on the complex social life and intimate work practices
of the researchers involved in these expeditions. At the same time,
the contributors also demonstrate the methodological challenges and
rewards of studying these legacies and provide new insights for the
history of collecting, history of anthropology, and histories of
expeditions. Offering fascinating insights into the nature of
expeditions and the human relationships that shaped them, The
Anthropology of Expeditions sets a new standard for the field.
