Indigenous visions : rediscovering the world of Franz Boas

Book

Indigenous visions : rediscovering the world of Franz Boas / edited by Ned Blackhawk and Isaiah Lorado Wilner.

Blackhawk, Ned, (editor.). Wilner, Isaiah Lorado, (editor.).

Summary:

"In 1911, the publication of Franz Boas's The Mind of Primitive Man challenged widely held claims about race and intelligence that justified violence and inequality. Now, a group of leading scholars examines how this groundbreaking work hinged on relationships with a global circle of Indigenous thinkers who used Boasian anthropology as a medium for their ideas. Contributors also examine how Boasian thought intersected with the work of major modernist figures, demonstrating how ideas of diversity and indentity sprang from colonization and empire."--Back cover.
