A History of Anthropology

Description

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 nineteenth century, exploring such major figures as Morgan and Taylor, it goes on to provide a comprehensive overview of the discipline in the twentieth 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 and discourse analysis.
• The authors also look at the ambiguous relationship between anthropology and national cultures.
• This is a timely, concise history of a major intellectual discipline, in engaging and thought-provoking narrative that will appeal to students of the discipline world wide.
