The Study of European Ethnology in Austria

By Olaf Bockhorn and James R. Dow

Book Overview

The study of ethnology or 'Volkskunde' in Austria had a somewhat murky reputation last century with prominent scholars carrying out dubious research on behalf of the National Socialist government. This volume examines this research, along with its political, sociological and cultural implications and sets it in context with an analysis of ethnology in Austria from the turn of the last century to the present.
