{"product_id":"anthropology-and-antihumanism-in-imperial-andi-zimmerman-9780226983424","title":"Anthropology and Antihumanism in Imperial Germany","description":"With the rise of imperialism, the centuries-old European tradition of humanist scholarship as the key to understanding the world was jeopardized. Nowhere was this more true than in nineteenth-century Germany. It was there, Andrew Zimmerman argues, that the battle lines of today's \"culture wars\" were first drawn when anthropology challenged humanism as a basis for human scientific knowledge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on sources ranging from scientific papers and government correspondence to photographs, pamphlets, and police reports of \"freak shows,\" Zimmerman demonstrates how German imperialism opened the door to antihumanism. As Germans interacted more frequently with peoples and objects from far-flung cultures, they were forced to reevaluate not just those peoples, but also the construction of German identity itself. Anthropologists successfully argued that their discipline addressed these issues more productively--and more accessibly--than humanistic studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScholars of anthropology, European and intellectual history, museum studies, the history of science, popular culture, and colonial studies will welcome this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andi Zimmerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226983420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226983424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.06w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2002 pg. 322","brand":"Andi Zimmerman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056660148479,"sku":"9780226983424","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8e007f4-e7fc-4406-ba2d-98430151908c.jpg?v=1685042557","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anthropology-and-antihumanism-in-imperial-andi-zimmerman-9780226983424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
