This book demonstrates his quiet influence within anthropology, which has extended from Mary Douglas to David Graeber, and how his remarkable poetry reflected profoundly on the slavery and murder of the Shoah, an event which he escaped from. Steiner's concerns including inter-disciplinarity, genre, refugees and exile, colonialism and violence, and the sources of European anthropology speak to contemporary concerns more directly now than at any time since his early death"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Franz Baermann Steiner (1909-52) provided the vital link between the intellectual culture of central Europe and the Oxford Institute of Anthropology in its post-Second World War years.</p> <p> This book demonstrates his quiet influence within anthropology, which has extended from Mary Douglas to David Graeber, and how his remarkable poetry reflected profoundly on the slavery and murder of the Shoah, an event which he escaped from.

Steiner, embracing and bringing together the three distinct facets of his writings: academic, poetic, and aphoristic. Such a study was long overdue... This book will soon become essential reading for anyone interested in the history of European Anthropology... The book is clearly written, shows an impressive erudition, and manages to portray the author and his ideas in a sympathetic and engaging manner."</em> <strong>- João Pina-Cabral</strong>, University of Kent</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Richard Fardon</strong> is Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at SOAS University of London.
