These essays explore the blending of structural and historical approaches to American Indian anthropology that characterizes the perspective developed by the late Fred Eggan and his students at the University of Chicago. They include studies of kinship and social organization, politics, religion, law, ethnicity, and art. Many reflect Eggan's method of controlled comparison, a tool for reconstructing social and cultural change over time. Together these essays make substantial descriptive contributions to American Indian anthropology, presenting contemporary interpretations of diverse groups from the Hudson Bay Inuit in the north to the Highland Maya of Chiapas in the south. The collection will serve as an introduction to Native American social and cultural anthropology for readers interested in the dynamics of Indian social life.

This volume explains aspects of British anthropology's past by placing people, events and institutions in their wider historical context. The essays follow a century of immense change from the foundation of British anthropology in the 1840s by examining a number of themes--innovations in ethnographic research and writing, institutional change and the professionalization of practice, and the redefinition of the content and boundaries that constituted anthropology. From these changes emerged new approaches during the 1920s and 1930s resulting in the triumph of social anthropology as an intellectual, academic and professional discipline after World War II.
