Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection spans the years 1950 to 2005, and consists of correspondence, lecture notes, course files, administrative records, talks, manuscript edits, and research files. Of particular interest are the files devoted to Taso, Mintz’s primary interlocutor during the early stage of his career, and whose life Worker in the Cane explores, and the records of the visits of French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss (1977), and several major figures for the 10th Anniversary of the Department of Anthropology at Hopkins (1985), including linguistic anthropologist Dell Hymes, Mintz’s long time collaborator and friend, Eric Wolf, and Sir Edmund Leach. Also of potential interest are copious early notes on the work of canonical figures, including A.L. Kroeber, Franz Boas, and Emile Durkheim dating from the 1950s.
