Functionalism Historicized: Essays on British Social Anthopology

By George W. Stocking Jr.

Book Overview

" This volume is likely to prove indispensable to historians of anthropology in general and of British anthropology in particular. There are a wide range of historical skills on display, from traditional textual analysis to historical sociology of the most sophisticated sort, and there is a more or less thorough chronological coverage from the era of classical evolutionism virtually up to the present. One can only hope that historicizing anthropologists will sample some of these wares."--Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences
