Historicizing Canadian Anthropology
Historicizing Canadian Anthropology is the first significant examination of the historical development of anthropological study in this country. It addresses key issues in the evolution of the discipline: the shaping influence of Aboriginal-anthropological encounters; the challenge of compiling a history for the Canadian context; and the place of international and institutional relations. The contributors to this collection reflect on the definition and scope of the discipline and explore the degree to which a uniquely Canadian tradition affects anthropological theory, practice, and reflexivity.
Histoire de la linguistique africaine
Quelle fut l'origine des études des langues africaines ? Quelles zones géographiques recouvrait cette linguistique ? Pourquoi une telle terminologie ? Était-elle pertinente ? Quelles étaient les relations entre la linguistique africaine et la linguistique générale ? Très curieusement, il n'existe pas à ce jour d'ouvrage proposant cette vue panoramique.

Where some claim that only native voices may offer authentic accounts of culture and hence that ethnographers are only ever interpreters of it, others point out that anthropologists are, themselves, implanted within specific cultural contexts which generate particular kinds of theoretical discussions. The contributors to this volume reject the premise that ethnographer and informant occupy different and incommensurable 'cultural worlds'. Instead they investigate the relationship between culture, context, and anthropologists' models and accounts in new ways. In doing so, they offer fresh insights into this key area of anthropological research."--Publisher's description.
