One of the twentieth century's most influential books, this classic
work of anthropology offers a groundbreaking exploration of what
culture is With The Interpretation of Cultures, the distinguished
anthropologist Clifford Geertz developed the concept of thick
description, and in so doing, he virtually rewrote the rules of his
field. Culture, Geertz argues, does not drive human behavior.
Rather, it is a web of symbols that can help us better understand
what that behavior means. A thick description explains not only the
behavior, but the context in which it occurs, and to describe
something thickly, Geertz argues, is the fundamental role of the
anthropologist. Named one of the 100 most important books published
since World War II by the Times Literary Supplement, The
Interpretation of Cultures transformed how we think about others'
cultures and our own. This definitive edition, with a foreword by
Robert Darnton, remains an essential book for anthropologists,
historians, and anyone else seeking to better understand human
cultures.
