A History of Anthropology: (Anthropology, Culture And Society)
This is the first book to cover the entire history of social and cultural anthropology in a single volume. Beginning with a summary of the discipline in the 19th century, exploring major figures such as Morgan and Tylor, it goes on to provide a comprehensive overview of the discipline in the 20th century.The bulk of the book is devoted to themes and controversies characteristic of post-First World War anthropology, from structural functionalism via structuralism to hermeneutics, cultural ecology, discourse analysis and most recently, globalization and postmodernism. The authors throughout emphasize the need to see changes in the discipline in a wider social, political and intellectual context. Altogether, this is a timely, concise history of a major discipline, in an engaging and thought-provoking narrative that should appeal to students of anthropology worldwide.
