Mary Douglas is a central figure within British social
anthropology. Studying under Evans-Pritchard at Oxford immediately
after the second world war, she formed part of the group of
anthropologists who established social anthropology's standing in
the world of scholarship. Her works, spanning the second half of
the twentieth century, have been widely read and her theories
applied across the social sciences and humanities. While her
research in the Congo clearly inspired her later studies, Douglas
also applied her theories to Western societies and thus played a
crucial role in normalizing the contemporary acceptance of the West
as a legitimate field of anthropological investigation. Douglas'
work has excited debate in such diverse areas as economics,
religion, philosophy, the sociology of food, and risk analysis.
This collection reproduces, in facsimile, twelve of Mary Douglas's
groundbreaking works, all of which are also available for
individual purchase. The first volume includes a new introduction
written by Douglas for this collection.
