Historicizing Canadian Anthropology.

Book

Historicizing Canadian Anthropology.

Harrison, Julia. (Editor). Darnell, Regna. (Editor).

Summary:

Annotation Historicizing Canadian Anthropology is the first significant examination of the historical development of anthropological study in this country. It addresses key issues in the evolution of the discipline: the shaping influence of Aboriginal-anthropological encounters; the challenge of compiling a history for the Canadian context; and the place of international and institutional relations. The contributors to this collection reflect on the definition and scope of the discipline and explore the degree to which a uniquely Canadian tradition affects anthropological theory, practice, and reflexivity.
