Über das Buch

In «Sign Language Among North American Indians,» Garrick Mallery provides an exhaustive ethnographic study of the indigenous sign languages used across various Native American tribes. His meticulous research combines observations, anecdotal evidence, and linguistic analysis, unveiling the complexities and nuances of visual communication in indigenous cultures. The book, published during a time when anthropology and linguistics were burgeoning fields, showcases Mallery's innovative approach to understanding the cultural significance of sign language, situating it within a broader dialogue about language, identity, and social interaction among Native peoples. Garrick Mallery was a prominent American ethnologist and a pioneering figure in the study of Native American cultures during the late 19th century. His dedication to recording and preserving indigenous languages stemmed from a deep respect for native traditions and a keen awareness of their impending extinction due to colonial pressures. His interactions with various tribes allowed him to gather in-depth knowledge and insights that culminated in this seminal work, which remains a crucial reference point for scholars of both linguistics and anthropology. This book is highly recommended for students, linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Native American cultures. Mallery's insightful observations and thorough documentation provide valuable context and foster a greater understanding of the role sign language plays in conveying not just information but also cultural heritage and identity.
