The mind of a primitive man

The book includes early Soviet translations into Russian of the works of the world-famous anthropologist Franz Boas (1858–1942)—his monograph "The Mind of Primitive Man" and articles "The Aims of Anthropological Research" and "Sorcery among the Kwakiutl Indians". These works represent only a small part of the multifaceted creativity of the "father of American anthropology", but even in them, the author's talent to convincingly talk about complex things is clearly visible, and argument by argument, to dismantle widely spread misconceptions regarding seemingly interdependent races, cultures, civilizations, languages, human abilities, and to show the practical significance of anthropology.
The book will be extremely useful for specialists in anthropology, ethnology, and cultural studies, as well as those interested in the history of these sciences.
