Research and Buy Zuni and the American Imagination

| ||||||||||
Through a study of three anthropologists who, in the 1880s, helped popularize the Zuni culture--Frank Cushing, Matilda Stevenson, and Stewart Culin---a scholar critiques the beginnings of anthropology in modern times. She considers the intrusive nature of anthropologists, and the appropriation of artifacts, tales, and folkways, as well as their possible misrepresentation. These representations captured the imagination of many anthropologists who followed, as well as the American people.
