About the Book

In this landmark 1960 hardback edition, Frederica De Laguna curates an extensive anthology of influential anthropological writings originally published in American Anthropologist between 1888 and 1920. Spanning an impressive 930 pages, the volume preserves foundational essays that shaped the early development of American anthropology.

The collection captures pioneering scholarship on Indigenous cultures, ethnographic fieldwork, kinship systems, linguistic studies, and evolving theoretical frameworks within the discipline. By assembling key contributions from leading anthropologists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, De Laguna offers readers a comprehensive window into the intellectual foundations of cultural anthropology.

Published by Row Peterson and Company, this substantial hardback volume remains an essential academic reference for students, researchers, and scholars of anthropology, Native American studies, and the history of social sciences. Preserved in good condition, it stands as a valuable archival resource and an important addition to institutional and personal research libraries.
