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.
