GIL, Gastón Julián. Centros Y Periferias Antropológicas: Julian Steward Y El Handbook Of South American Indians. Avá [online]. 2015, n.26, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1694.

The Handbook of South American Indians, edited in 1946 by Julian Steward, was not only a cornerstone in North American Anthropology, but also in the peripheral anthropological traditions in the rest of the continent. To a great extent, by means of this publication the anthropological studies in the USA were going to make their first systematic steps in the analysis of different areas, more precisely in South America, although eventually Central America was going to be the main objective of the explorations performed by the sub-discipline of Social Anthropology, particularly on the basis of development projects. In the six volumes of the Handbook of South American Indians, there were contributions made by an important group of Latin American anthropologists, together with other prestigious scholars, mainly from the USA, but also from France and Germany.
