Finally, Silverman traces the formative influence of Franz Boas, the expansion of the discipline after World War II, and the fault lines and promises of contemporary anthropology in the United States.

Trade Review
"This is an absorbing and much-needed volume that has considerable potential as a teaching tool. It is the first cross-national review of the history of anthropology in its Euro-American experience. This is an excellent source for anyone who might want to know how anthropology arose in different settings, where it has been, and where it might be going." - George Marcus, Rice University"
