Description

New York , NY, U.S.A.: Berghahn Books, 2008. This is a political history of the emergence of social anthropology as an intellectual discipline in Britain between the 1930s and 1960s; it examines the role that institutions and resources of the British and Imperial state played in forstering the autonomy of the new social science; it tells the story of a community of scholars using state funds and patronage to advance a new theoretical and methodological paradigm, isolating themselves from a broader community of colonial administrators, amateur scholars, and museum curators (laminated pictorial covers; a bright, clean, tight copy in nearly perfect condition; in stock & available for immediate shipment from a reliable independent bookstore). As New/No Jacket.
