Franz Boas (1858-1942)
- 1980 ----- color ----- 59 min ----- 16mm
- (Odyssey series) Presents a portrait of the German immigrant scholar whose impact extended far beyond the narrow limits of his life and discipline. Through Boas's own words and the reflections of modern anthropologists, his life and contributions are explored; his work among American immigrants, the Eskimo in Baffinland and the Kwakiutl Indians of the Northwest Coast; and his role in the development of anthropology. Men are not always great because they propose grand theories but for changing the way we see the world. Franz Boas, one of the single most important forces in American anthropology, has unalterably changed how we see people who are different from ourselves.
- Topics: (Anthropology, Biography, Pacific Northwest)
