Description

Marvin Harris is arguably the most influential, prolific anthropological theorist of our time.

This book brings together many of the strands of his work of the past two decades into a unified, contemporary statement on anthropological theory and practice.

In this book, he presents his current views on the nature of culture addressing such issues as the mental/behavioral debate, emics and etics, and anthropological holism.

He resoundly critiques many current theoretical trends_from sociobiology to postmodernism to Afrocentrism. And he offers a cultural materialist perspective on diverse contemporary issues such as the IQ question and the fall of communism.

Harris' thought-provoking and controversial theoretical views will be required reading for all anthropologists, social theorists, and their students.
