This book presents an overview of important currents of thought in
social and cultural anthropology, from the 19th century to the
present. It introduces readers to the origins, context and
continuing relevance of a fascinating and exciting kaleidoscope of
ideas that have transformed the humanities and social sciences, and
the way we understand ourselves and the societies we live in today.
Each chapter provides a thorough yet engaging introduction to a
particular theoretical school, style or conceptual issue. Together
they build up to a detailed and comprehensive critical introduction
to the most salient areas of the field. The introduction reflects
on the substantive themes which tie the chapters together and on
what the very notions of 'theory' and 'theoretical school' bring to
our understanding of anthropology as a discipline. The book tracks
a core lecture series given at Cambridge University and is
essential reading for all undergraduate students undertaking a
course on anthropological theory or the history of anthropological
thought. It will also be useful more broadly for students of social
and cultural anthropology, sociology, human geography and cognate
disciplines in the social sciences and humanities.
