Goldenweiser, Alexander Alexandrovich

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Goldenweiser, Alexander Alexandrovich (1880-1940)

Russian-born US cultural anthropologist. He helped launch the multivolume Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, and lectured and wrote on race, sex, cultural diffusion, and psychoanalysis, but he never held a full-time academic post. His principal works were Early Civilization (1922) and History, Psychology and Culture (1933). The son of a lawyer who brought his family to America in 1900, he was born in Kiev, Russia. Goldenweiser graduated from Columbia University in 1902, where he studied under Franz Boas, and received a PhD in 1910.
