Tigger Wise The Self-Made Anthropologist: A Life of A.P. Elkin
Allen & Unwin 1985 0868617822 / 9780868617824 Paperback Used: Good Paperback
Scarce. Minor wear, first few pages have underlining, in otherwise very good condition. This is an account of the remarkable life of Australia's first professor of anthropology, the author of the immensely influential The Australian Aborigines, whose national and international reputation as a champion of the Aboriginal people, built over 50 years, is now the subject of considerable controversy. Drawn from unpublished letters, diaries and documents, interviews with friends and foes, and many other sources, this fast-moving biography presents a compelling portrait of the real Elkin - a complex, angry, persistent, authoritarian figure, a man fiercely convinced that it was his duty to shape the lives and thoughts of his fellow Australians. This is a life played out against a background of the state and national politics of the Aboriginal issue, fierce academic rivalries, and the rise of new profession.
