| description | The southwestern United States became central to American
anthropology early in the development of the discipline. Beginning with the Stevensons
and Coshing at Zuni in ethnology and Cushing in the Salt River Valley in archaeology
just about everybody who was anybody came to work and learn in the Southwest. For this
reason, it is difficult to see the whole field in context and to discern how these
scholars fit into the larger picture of American anthropology. Until now no one has put
it all together. Broken into 30 chapters, each of which has topical sub-sections, this
book works best when taken small chunks to ponder and digest slowly. When read cover to
cover as I did, it needs a timeline to keep track of who was doing what and when. The
book provokes thoughts about patterns of people and events. a couple of which I will
mention here. |
