Book Description
"The Shaping of American Anthropology is a book which is outstanding in many respects. Stocking is probably the leading authority on Franz Boas; he understands Boas's contributions to American anthropology, as well as anthropology in general, very well. . . . He is, in a word, the foremost historian of anthropology in the world today. . . . The reader is both a collection of Boas's papers and a solid 23-page introduction to giving the background and basic assumptions of Boasian anthropology."—David Schneider, University of Chicago "While Stocking has not attempted to present a person biography, nevertheless Boas's personal characteristics emerge not only in his scholarly essays, but perhaps more vividly in his personal correspondence. . . . Stocking is to be commended for collecting this material together in a most interesting and enjoyable reader."—Gustav Thaiss, American Anthropologist

Book Description
Throughout the first six decades of the twentieth century Alfred Louis Kroeber worked with great distinction as a member of an anthropological circle the ethos of which he could not fully share. His beliefs regarding the evolution of languages, and the controversial notion of cultural evolution more generally, conflicted with the reigning Boasian paradigm. Some of the concepts with which he struggled, such as the familial relationships among American languages and the emergent character of culture, became less problematic after he had passed from the scene. Although Kroeber is regarded as one of the founding figures of American anthropology, his contributions to the establishment of the genetic approach in historical linguistics were overshadowed by the genius of his collaborator and correspondent, Edward Sapir.
