This book includes a variety of chapters that consider the role and
importance of anthropology in small wars and insurgencies. Almost
every war since the origins of the discipline at the beginning of
the 19th century has involved anthropology and anthropologists. The
chapters in this book fall into the following myriad categories of
military anthropology. Anthropology for the military. In some
cases, anthropologists participated directly as uniformed
combatants, having the purpose of directly providing expert
knowledge with the goal of improving operations and strategy.
Anthropology of the military. Anthropologists have also been known
to study State militaries. Sometimes this scholarship is undertaken
with the objective of providing the military with information about
its own internal systems and processes in order to improve its
performance. At other times, the objective is to study the military
as a human group to identify and describe its culture and social
processes. Anthropology of war. As a discipline, anthropology has
also had a long history of studying warfare itself. This book
considers the anthropology of small wars and insurgencies through
an analysis of the Islamic State’s military adaptation in Iraq,
Al Shabaab recruiting in Somalia, religion in Israeli combat units,
as well as many other topics. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal, Small Wars
& Insurgencies.
