Anthony F. C. Wallace, professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, has written some of the most distinguished and ethnological treatises published during the last forty years. Among the better known of these works are Death and Rebirth of the Seneca, a study of the origins and early development of the Iroquois Longhouse religion; Rockdale, an analysis of a nineteenth-century mill town; and St. Clair, an examination of an American mining town. Wallace is perhaps best known as the originator of the influential revitalization paradigm that has guided most studies of religious and culture change since its first appearance in 1956.
