Secondary Lit on Herder

[palotin]

I am an athropology student currently purusing the small amount of Herder's writings that have been translated into English. American Anthropology was founded by Franz Boas and consequently on a German theory of culture. Right now, I'm trying to study the development of that theory from Herder on. Does anyone know of secondary literature from a radcal perspective in English or French on Herder and/or this German tradition of Herder-inspired theory of culture?

Thanks,
Palotin

Isaiah Berlin's work is supposed to be good on Herder.

This one looks up your street:

'Kant, Herder and the birth of anthropology', by J Zammito:

I have no idea if these are radical.

Have you tried the Radical Anthropology website?

There is a contact e-mail address there; I am sure they will help you out.
