Alfred Cort Haddon
An innovative account of one of the least-understood characters in the history of anthropology. Using previously overlooked, primary sources Ciarán Walsh argues that Haddon, the grandson of anti-slavery activists, set out to revolutionize anthropology in the 1890s in association with a network of anarcho-utopian activists and philosophers. He regards most of what has been written about Haddon in the past as a form of disciplinary folklore shaped by a theory of scientific revolutions. The main action takes place in Ireland, where Haddon adopted the persona of a very English savage in a new form of performed photo-ethnography that constituted a singularly modernist achievement in anthropology. From the Introduction: Alfred Cort Haddon was written out of the story of anthropology for the same reasons that make him interesting today. He was passionately committed to the protection of simpler societies and their civilisations from colonists and their supporters in parliament and the armed forces.

The Wanderings of Peoples
Written by the founder of Britain's Cambridge University's Anthropology Department, this pioneering work traces the origins of the world's nations as they are found on all continents in terms of their ancestral migrations across the globe. Starting with an overview of the basic concepts involved (defining a mass migration, the driving forces for such movements, religious fervour and so on), this remarkable work then moves on to a chapter-by-chapter discussions of the great Völkerwanderungs which led to the peopling of the continents. A vital work for anyone seeking an understanding of just how the indigenous populations of the world came to be resident in their regions. This is a completely reset edition, with all original five maps digitally restored to the highest standards possible. It also contains a new index and a brief biography of the author.

Recording Kastom
Recording Kastom brings readers into the heart of colonial Torres Strait and New Guinea through the personal journals of Cambridge zoologist and anthropologist Alfred Haddon, who visited the region in 1888 and 1898. Haddon's published reports of these trips were hugely influential on the nascent discipline of anthropology, but his private journals and sketches have never been published in full. The journals record in vivid detail Haddon's observations and relationships. They highlight his preoccupation with documentation, and the central role played by the Islanders who worked with him to record kastom. This collaboration resulted in an enormous body of materials that remain of vital interes...
