Although in its early years anthropology often used demographic
research and showed interest in demographic issues, anthropology
and demography have more recently grown to distrust each other's
guiding assumptions and methods. Demographers have stressed
universal causal models and standardized survey methods, while
sociocultural anthropologists have increasingly focused on the
uniqueness of different peoples and their cultures.
Showing that the two disciplines have much to offer each other,
this book bridges the demography/anthropology divide. The editors
begin the volume with an in-depth historical account of the
relations between the fields. Eminent contributors from both
disciplines then examine the major issues and controversies in
anthropological demography, including the demographic implications
of differing family and kinship systems; the influence of new
developments in cultural, gender, and identity theory on population
study; the limits of quantitative approaches in demographic study;
and demographers' views of the limits of anthropological methods.
