The Histories of Anthropology Annual presents localized perspectives on the disciplines history within a global context, with a goal of increasing awareness and use of historical approaches in teaching, learning, and conducting anthropology.
This tenth volume of the series, Local Knowledge, Global Stage, examines worldwide historical trends of anthropology ranging from the assertion that all British anthropology is a study of the Old Testament to the discovery of the untranslated shorthand notes of pioneering anthropologist Franz Boas. Other topics include archival research into the study of Vancouver Islands indigenous languages, explorations of the Christian notion of virgin births in Edward Tylors The Legend of Perseus, and the Canadian governments implementation of European-model farms as a way to undermine Native culture. In addition to Boas and Tylor, the essays explore the research and personalities of Susan Golla, Edwin Sydney Hartland, and others.

Histories of Anthropology Annual has saved and transmitted many memorable episodes from the adventure that we call our discipline. For these nine memories, and for all those captured in previous volumes, we can thank Darnell and Gleach." -Anthropology Review Database
