Preferred term

Paul Radin  

Definition

  • Paul Radin (1893–1959) is normally accorded a relatively minor status in the Boasian pantheon of American anthropology. His name never became as well-known among the general public as that of a Margaret Mead or a Ruth Benedict, nor was he as central to the institutional and epistemic legacies of Boasianism as figures like Alfred Kroeber, Robert Lowie, and Edward Sapir.
