Description

In his famously accessible writing style, Eriksen introduces fundamental questions that shape human life, and provides an overview of the disciplines contribution to the pressing issues of our times. A must-read Ursula Rao, Director, Anthropology of Politics and Governance, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology

This is not just another book in the library of anthropology; it is an entire anthropological library in one book Tim Ingold, Emeritus Professor, University of Aberdeen

A masterful introduction Vered Amit, Professor Emerita, Concordia University

This introduction to social and cultural anthropology has become a modern classic, revealing the rich global variation in social life and culture across the world.

Presenting a clear overview of anthropology, it focuses on central topics such as kinship, ethnicity, ritual and political systems, offering a wealth of examples that demonstrate the enormous scope of anthropology and the importance of a comparative perspective. Using reviews of key works to illustrate his argument, for over 25 years Thomas Hylland Eriksens lucid and accessible textbook has been a much respected and widely used undergraduate-level introduction to social anthropology.

This fully updated fifth edition features brand new chapters on climate and medical anthropology, along with rewritten sections on ecology, nature and the Anthropocene. It also incorporates a more systematic engagement with gender and digitalisation throughout the text.

Thomas Hylland Eriksen is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and former President of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA). He is the author of numerous classics of anthropology, including Ethnicity and Nationalism and What is Anthropology?
