What is Indigenous Visions: Rediscovering the World of Franz Boas (The Henry Roe Cloud Series on American Indians and Modernity) about?

A compelling study that charts the influence of Indigenous thinkers on Franz Boas, the founder of modern anthropology In 1911, the publication of Franz Boas’s  The Mind of Primitive Man  challenged widely held claims about race and intelligence that justified violence and inequality. Now, a group of leading scholars examines how this groundbreaking work hinged on relationships with a global circle of Indigenous thinkers who used Boasian anthropology as a medium for their ideas. Contributors also examine how Boasian thought intersected with the work of major modernist figures, demonstrating how ideas of diversity and identity sprang from colonization and empire. ** Cover 1 Half Title 2 Title 4 Copyright 5 Contents 6 Acknowledgments 8 Introduction 10 Part One: Origins and Erasures: The Emergence of a Boasian Circle 24 1 Transformation Masks: Recollecting the Indigenous Origins of Global Consciousness 26 2 Franz Boas in Africana Philosophy 65 3 Expressive Enlightenment: Subjectivity and Solidarity in Daniel Garrison Brinton, Franz Boas, and Carlos Montezuma 84 4 “Culture” Crosses the Atlantic: The German Sources of The Mind of Primitive Man 114 Part Two: Worlds of Enlightenment: Boasi
