All too often, the political and institutional dimensions of knowledge production are lost beneath the intellectual debates. This book redresses the balance. Written in a narrative style and drawing on archival sources and oral histories, it depicts the complex pattern of personal and administrative relationships that shape scholarly worlds. Focusing on the field of social anthropology in twentieth- century Britain, this book describes individual, departmental and institutional rivalries over funding and influence. It examines the efforts of scholars such as Bronislaw Malinowski, Edward Evans-Pritchard and Max Gluckman to further their own visions for social anthropology. Did the future lie with the humanities or the social sciences, with addressing social problems or developing scholarly autonomy? This new history situates the discipline's rise within the post-war expansion of British universities and the challenges created by the end of Empire. 588 0 PDF (JSTOR, viewed Dec. 10, 2018). 590 JSTOR|bBooks at JSTOR Open Access 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Ethnology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85045198|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651|zGreat Britain.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79023147-781 650 0 Ethnology|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh86003201|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 Ethnology|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/916146 650 7 Ethnology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/916106 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Electronic books.|2lcgft 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 Methodology and history in anthropology ;|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no99024303|vv. 19. 856 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctv8mdn66|zOnline eBook.
