Description:... This classic study, first published in 1922, presents the writings of A. L. Kroeber, Robert H. Lowie, Clark Wissler, Paul Radin, Truman Michelson, and other prominent anthropologists. The distinguished career of Elsie Clews Parsons and its debt to Franz Boas are considered by Joan Mark in an introduction that also explores the message behind the twenty-seven stories in American Indian Life.
