Reviews
This pathbreaking book transforms our understanding of Franz Boas as both scientist and citizen, going far beyond commonly accepted views of this influential figure of American cultural life. Presented from a firmly contemporary perspective, these important and well-researched essays will surely be the foundation of much future study. --Ira Jacknis, research anthropologist at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley--Ira Jacknis (09/18/2014)

Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley -- Ira Jacknis Highly recommended. -CHOICE -- D. M. Digrius * CHOICE * As a stand-alone piece and as a first step in the grand Boas project, this volume is an important and fascinating contribution toward the understanding of a man who, if he did not heroically invent anthropology single-handedly, certainly did have a disproportionate influence on its formation and early direction. -Jack David Eller, Anthropology Review Database -- Jack David Eller * Anthropology Review Database * This is an important volume. . . . The many excellent papers gathered here accurately represent the current state of scholarship on Boas and the history of North American anthropology. -Richard Handler, Journal of Anthropological Research -- Richard Handler * Journal of Anthropological Research *
