Structure of this article should lead to a summary or a reception.
Fuchs was a cultural anthropologist who excelled at field work and note taking. He is celebrated and honoured for his recording of the cultures of the peoples where he resided. He had an acute ear for language and history. It is clear that he formed his own method of anthropology and stayed away from the academic assumptions and cultural theories of the Vienna School. The references for this article cite many reviews of his books and monographs. He is both praised and criticised for the depth and simplicity of his work. He set strong boundaries which, to other anthropologists were richly rewarding yet frustrating. Then finish with his Golden Doctorate award and the Fetschrifts given for him. See Reference 3. Done
This article starts off with rather challenging grammar and gets much better as it goes on. Reading the revision history shows that the principal editor made many, many changes to satisfy later editors about good written English. It *just* meets reasonably well written criteria.
Final
