Product Description
This work provides a brief survey of the nine international congresses of Anthropology, from the first Congress in London in 1934, through the Copenhagen (1938), Brussels (1948), Vienna (1952), Philadelphia (1956), Paris (1960), Moscow (1964), Tokyo (1968) Congresses, to the Ninth Congress in Chicago in 1973, including an account of the preparations for the forthcoming 1978 Congress in India.
While this brief report does not aim at telling the whole story of the growth and advancement of Anthropology, it does reflect upon the major trends in the genesis and development of this science through these congresses, particularly the amalgamation of the two main trends of internationalisation and Rocalization which has greatly contributed to the tremendous growth of Anthropology and made it possible to hold its Tenth Congress in a developing country.
The work gives an account of the continued efforts of numerous scholars drawn from the different part of the world and from the different branches of this science. It shows how the total endeavour of all these devoted men end women have enabled us to acquire a better understanding of man and his culture.
The fast growth of the science and the needs of its increasing international spread, have also brought about a number of meaningful concommittal organisational changes and functional improvements making it more sensetive and receptive in search of knowledge. This work includes information on the organisational growth as well.
In brief, this is a summary of the history of International Anthropology over the period from 1934 onwards, commenting upon its trends, its achievements, and its efforts to take shape as the true Science of Man.
