HAR’s Bibliography Editors are pleased to post our latest additions to the bibliography of works on the history of anthropology. This latest batch of citations includes several titles on linguistic anthropology, including “James Cowles Prichard and the Linguistic Foundations of Ethnology,” as well as biographically-focused pieces on the work of Zora Neale Hurston, Margaret Mead, Harry Shapiro, and Alfred Kroeber.

Don’t forget that you can search the Comprehensive Bibliography, which now includes almost 600 unique authors, by keywords including personal names, places, and concepts.

The bibliography section of HAR features citations to recently published works in all formats and covering all aspects of the history of anthropology.  This page displays a comprehensive list of citations that we’ve collected since 2016 (dating back as far as 2013); our recent batches and posts and a search tool are also available separately. You may also browse this list in Zotero.

HAR’s team of bibliography editors was recently expanded from two to four people, and an upside is that we have added expertise in both linguistic anthropology and archaeology, which means we hope to present a more citations in those sub-fields of anthropology in the future.

We welcome suggestions from readers. If you come across something of interest during your own fieldwork in the library, whether that be physical or virtual, please let us know by emailing us at bibliographies@histanthro.org.
