520 | |a This paper offers a brief account of the rise of British anthropology followed by a survey of the writings of Edwin W. Smith (1876-1957) on the subject. Smith from a Primitive Methodist background is the only missionary of any denomination to be President of the Royal Anthropological Institute. From an Africanist perspective Smith promoted applied anthropology as a tool for mission and development and encouraged anthropological research in a changing Africa. His contribution and approach will be evaluated in the context of modern reflections on anthropology and mission in the imperial era. | ||
520 | |a Cet article propose un bref aperçu de l’essor de l’anthropologie britannique, suivi d’une étude sur les écrits d’Edwin W. Smith (1876-1957). Issu du Primitive Methodism, Smith est le seul missionnaire, toutes confessions confondues, à avoir été président de l’Institut Royal d’Anthropologie. Dans une perspective africaniste, Smith promut l’anthropologie appliquée comme un outil pour la mission et le développement, et a encouragé la recherche anthropologique dans une Afrique en pleine évolution. Sa contribution et son approche seront évaluées dans le cadre des réflexions menées actuellement sur l’anthropologie et la mission à l’époque impériale. | ||
