Download or read book The Franz Boas Papers: 1894-1913 written by Franz Boas. This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Franz Boas Papers, Volume 2 explores the development of the ethnography of Salishan-speaking societies on the North American Plateau through the correspondence between Franz Boas and the Scottish-born James Teit, who married into an Interior Salish family and community and became fluent in the Nlaka'pamux language. The letters between Teit (1864-1922) and Boas (1858-1942) chronicle Teit's varied career as an ethnographer, from shortly after his initial meeting with Boas in 1894 until Teit's death at the age of fifty-eight. A postscript documents Boas' contribution to Teit's legacy through the posthumous publication of the manuscripts Teit left unfinished at his death...[this publication] meticulously tracks the impact of the different career trajectories of Teit and Boas on the primary product of their collaboration -- the initial development of the ethnography of societies speaking Interior Salish languages." -- Dust jacket

Book Synopsis Franz Boas among the Inuit of Baffin Island, 1883-1884 by : Ludger Muller-Wille
Download or read book Franz Boas among the Inuit of Baffin Island, 1883-1884 written by Ludger Muller-Wille. This book was released on 2016-06-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1883, Franz Boas, widely regarded as one of the fathers of Inuit anthropology, sailed from Germany to Baffin Island to spend a year among the Inuit of Cumberland Sound. This was his introduction to the Arctic and to anthropological fieldwork. This book presents, for the first time, his letters and journal entries from the year that he spent among the Inuit, providing not only an insightful background to his numerous scientific articles about Inuit culture, but a comprehensive and engaging narrative as well. Using a Scottish whaling station as his base, Boas travelled widely with the Inuit, learning their language, living in their tents and snow houses, sharing their food, and experiencing their joys and sorrows. At the same time he was taking detailed notes and surveying and mapping the landscape and coastline. Ludger Müller-Wille has transcribed his journals and his letters to his parents and fiancé and woven these texts into a sequential narrative. The result is a fascinating study of one of the earliest and most successful examples of participatory observation among the Inuit. Originally published in German in 1994, the text has been translated into English by William Barr, who has also published translations of other important works on the history of the Arctic. Illustrated with some of Boas's own photos and with maps of his field area, Franz Boas among the Inuit of Baffin Island, 1883-1884 is a valuable addition to the historical and anthropological literature on southern Baffin Island.
