Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In September, A Wealth of Art: Franz Boas on Native American Art, edited by Aldona Jonaitis, gathers work by the man often called the father of American anthropology. Boas (1858-1942) spent his long career with the native peoples of the Pacific Northwest, and among his many achievements were groundbreaking studies of so-called primitive art. The 14 essays collected, written by Boas between 1889 and 1916, demonstrate the theoretical development that culminated in his classic, Primitive Art (1927). (Univ. of Washington)

Review
Anthropologist Frank Boas is best known for his scholarly studies, but is also recognized for breaking new ground in the study of primitive art. This gathers his writings on art; many of which have been difficult to locate. Essays are illustrated with their originally-published photos and drawings and a fine bibliography concludes. Essential for any college-level student of primitive art. -- Midwest Book Review
