Radcliffe-Brown - Journeys Through Colonial Worlds, 1881-1955

Alfred Radcliffe-Brown (1881-1995) is widely renowned as a founder of modern social anthropology. This biography challenges popular stereotypes of him as a misplaced positivist and colonial conservative. It shows Radcliffe-Brown to be a thoroughly cosmopolitan scholar, a committed fieldworker, and a sharp critic of colonialism.
