CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: A CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE, Third Edition is
a sophisticated synthesis of social and cultural anthropology.
Keesing was concerned with the political and ethical implications
of anthropological fieldwork and was sensitive to the global
conditions of inequality caused by the spread of capitalist
relations of production. Thus, his book is more "political" than
other introductory texts in the field. Keesing was also committed
to the belief that students should not merely memorize terms and
theories, but should also be challenged to ponder the deep
questions raised by human diversity. Roger Keesing's untimely death
in 1992 necessitated that a co-author execute his planned revision.
Dr. Andrew Strathern was chosen because, like Keesing, his training
is in the British social anthropological tradition, his fieldwork
has concentrated on the Pacific, and his recent teaching experience
has acquainted him with American cultural anthropology. In this
revision, Dr. Strathern preserved Keesing's vision, arguments, and
the ethnographies presented as illustrations of Keesing's theories,
while also examining each sentence to determine whether its
assertions needed to be updated, modified, or abandoned. Small
changes made in this way incorporated a larger aim of updating and
recasting the book to better fit and reflect a world 20 years since
publication of the first edition.
