Synopsis :

This overview of the history of anthropological theory provides a comprehensive history from antiquity through to the twenty-first century, with a focus on the twentieth century and beyond. Unlike other volumes, it also offers a four-field introduction to theory. As a stand-alone text, or used in conjunction with the companion volume "Readings for a History of Anthropological Theory," Erickson and Murphy offer a comprehensive, affordable, and contemporary introduction to anthropological theory. The third edition has been updated and fully revised throughout to closely parallel the presentation in the companion reader, making it easier to use both books in tandem. New original essays by contemporary theorists bring theories to life, and portraits of important theorists make it a handsome volume. Sources and suggested readings have been updated, and glossary definitions have been updated, streamlined, and standardized.

Présentation de l'éditeur: This bestselling overview of the history of anthropological theory spans from antiquity to the twenty-first century, offering an accessible and engaging introduction to the discipline of anthropology.

The fifth edition has been revised throughout, with stronger coverage of feminism, gender, and sexuality in anthropology, as well as an entirely new section on the anthropology of new media and technology. Additional biographical information about some of theorists has been added along with keyword definitions in the margins. Read on its own, or paired with the popular companion volume, Readings for a History of Anthropological Theory, this book provides a solid foundation for those interested in anthropological theory.
