"A thought-provoking, stimulating volume on the past, present and
future of cultural materialism that is both laudatory of Harris'
research strategy and critical of it." Paul Shankman, University of
Colorado One of the most important anthropologists of all time,
Marvin Harris was influential worldwide as the founder of cultural
materialism. This book accessibly analyzes Harris's theories and
their important legacies today. The chapters explore cultural
materialism's epistemology and its relation to rational choice
theory, Darwinian social science, and population pressures. The
authors assess recent attempts to extend and reformulate cultural
materialism and highlight cross-cultural, archaeological, and
ethnographic applications of cultural materialism today.
