Functionalism Historicized
Essays on British Social
Anthropology
Edited by George W. Stocking, Jr.
History of Anthropology series,
volume 2
"This volume is likely to prove
indispensable to historians of anthropology in general and of
British anthropology in particular. A wide range of historical
skills are on display, from traditional textual analysis to historical
sociology of the most sophisticated sort."—Robert A. Nye, Journal of the History
of the Behavioral Sciences
" A promising and well-produced series.
. . . these essays show how much of interest in the history of
social anthropology would be lost if it were treated simply as
a history of ideas." —Times Literary Supplement
" 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
