{"product_id":"anthropology-and-radical-humanism-jack-glazier-9781611863505","title":"Anthropology and Radical Humanism: Native and African American Narratives and the Myth of Race","description":"Paul Radin, famed ethnographer of the Winnebago, joined Fisk University in the late 1920s. During his three-year appointment, he and graduate student Andrew Polk \u003cbr\u003e Watson collected autobiographies and religious conversion narratives from elderly African Americans. Their texts represent the first systematic record of slavery as told by \u003cbr\u003e former slaves. That innovative, subject-centered research complemented like-minded scholarship by African American historians reacting against the disparaging portrayals of black people by white historians. Radin's manuscript focusing on this research was never published. Utilizing the Fisk archives, the unpublished manuscript, and other archival and published sources, \u003ci\u003eAnthropology and Radical Humanism \u003c\/i\u003erevisits the Radin-Watson collection and allied research at Fisk. Radin regarded each narrative as the unimpeachable self-representation of a unique, thoughtful individual, precisely the perspective marking his earlier Winnebago work. As a radical humanist within Boasian anthropology, Radin was an outspoken critic of racial explanations of human affairs then pervading not only popular thinking but also historical and sociological scholarship. His research among African Americans and Native Americans thus places him in the vanguard of the anti-racist scholarship marking American anthropology. \u003ci\u003eAnthropology and Radical Humanism\u003c\/i\u003e sets Paul Radin's findings within the broader context of his discipline, African American culture, and his career-defining work among the Winnebago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Glazier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611863503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611863505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michigan State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2020","brand":"Jack Glazier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941090722047,"sku":"9781611863505","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ccaabbf9-a39a-4da1-a2b4-62f18ebbfa38.jpg?v=1681450853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anthropology-and-radical-humanism-jack-glazier-9781611863505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
