Hilda B. Kuper is one of the most noted African anthropologists.
She was born on August 23, 1911 in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, now
known as Zimbabwe. As an undergraduate, she began her research
on Indians in the Johannesberg slums in South Africa. Later
on, she became a Research Assistant for the South African
Institute of Race Relations. While at the Institute of Race
Relations she studied the socioeconomic effects of liquor
laws on women. In 1934, she went to Swaziland to begin her
fieldwork, which was financed by a Research Fellowship for
the International African Institute.
Kuper taught at the University of Witwatersrand (1940-1945);
the University of Natal (1959-1962); and the University
of California, Los Angeles (1963-1978).
An online
finding aid for the print archives of her papers (held
at UCLA), which include her correspondence, manuscripts,
notes, notebooks, photographs, research and teaching materials,
can be found at the "Online Archive of California,"
a project of the California Digital Library.
