"Kan's excellent biography is deeply researched, easy to read, and
economically written. It does a good job of telling the story of an
important but little-known figure in the history of folklore and
anthropology."—Alex Golub, Journal of Folklore
Research
“Alexander A. Goldenweiser is a unique figure among American
anthropologists. A Maverick Boasian is a valuable contribution to
the history of anthropology, specifically to the study of the first
generation of Franz Boas’s students and the establishment of
professionalized anthropology in the United States.”—Robert
Brightman, author of Grateful Prey: Rock Cree Human-Animal
Relationships
“An authoritative contribution to the history of
anthropology.”—Rosemary Lévy Zumwalt, author of Franz Boas: Shaping
Anthropology and Fostering Social Justice
