Yulian Bromley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yulian Bromley (21 February 1921 - 4 June 1990) was a Russian anthropologist who gained international recognition.

Bromley was a specialist in South Slavs. He was appointed Director of the Institute of Ethnography at the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1966, a post he held until 1989. He wrote more than 300 texts although he did not engage in fieldwork himself.

Ernest Gellner described him as leading a minor revolution in anthropology, which consisted of turning ethnography into the study of ethnos-es, often referred to as ethnicity by western anthropologists
