Contents:

Part I. Anthropology and the field: intermediaries and exchange. Chapter 1. Assembling the ethnographic field ; Chapter 2. Receiving guests ; Chapter 3. Donald Thomson's hybrid expeditions -- Part II. Exploration, archaeology, race and emergent anthropology. Chapter 4. Looking at culture through an artist's eyes ; Chapter 5. The anomalous blonds of the Maghreb ; Chapter 6. Medium, genre, indigenous presence ; Chapter 7. Ethnographic inquiry on Phillip Parker King's hydrographic survey -- Part III. The question of gender. Chapter 8. Gender and the expedition ; Chapter 9. What has been forgotten? ; Chapter 10. Gender, science and imperial drive -- Index.

Subject: The origins of anthropology lie in expeditionary journeys. But since the rise of immersive fieldwork, usually by a sole investigator, the older tradition of team-based social research has been largely eclipsed. Expeditionary Anthropology argues that expeditions have much to tell us about anthropologists and the people they studied. The book charts the diversity of anthropological expeditions and analyzes the often passionate arguments they provoked. Drawing on recent developments in gender studies, indigenous studies, and the history of science, the book argues that even today, the 'science of man' is deeply inscribed by its connections with expeditionary travel.
