Book Synopsis Readings for a History of Anthropological Theory by : Paul A. Erickson
Download or read book Readings for a History of Anthropological Theory written by Paul A. Erickson. This book was released on 2013-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive anthology offers over 40 readings that are critical to the understanding of anthropological theory and the development of anthropology as an academic discipline. The fourth edition maintains a strong focus on the "four-field" roots of the discipline in North America but has been reorganized with a new section on twenty-first-century theory, including coverage of postcolonial and public anthropology. New key terms and introductions accompany each reading and a revamped glossary makes the book more student-friendly. Used on its own, or together with the overview text A History of Anthropological Theory, Fourth Edition, this anthology offers a flexible and unrivaled introduction to anthropological theory that reflects not only the history but also the changing nature of the discipline today.
