Boas was a passionate defender of academic freedom, rigorous scholarship, and anthropology as a humane calling. This title examines Boas's stature as public intellectual in three crucial dimensions: theory, ethnography, and activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"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, \u003ci\u003eJournal of Anthropological Research\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"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\u003cbr\u003e\"Highly recommended.\"\u003ci\u003e—CHOICE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“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.
