Resumo
The second volume of The Franz Boas Papers focuses on Boas's extensive work with James Teit on Salish ethnography in the early twentieth century. It features correspondence, field notes, manuscripts, and publications, offering insights into their collaborative process and the challenges of ethnographic research during this period. The volume explores the development of Boas's anthropological theories and methods as applied to the study of Salish languages, cultures, and oral traditions. It also highlights Teit's crucial role as a local expert and collaborator, providing valuable perspectives on Indigenous knowledge and representation. The materials presented shed light on the complex relationship between Boas, Teit, and the Salish communities they studied, raising important questions about power dynamics, cultural exchange, and the ethical considerations of ethnographic fieldwork.
