Presenting a selection of critical essays in anthropology from 1860
to the current day, this sixth edition of Anthropological Theory
includes classic authors such as Tylor, Marx, Boas, Malinowski,
Foucault, Turner, and Geertz as well as contemporary thinkers such
as Appadurai, Abu-Lughod, and Bourgois. Most essays are reprinted
without abridgement. Those that are shortened include notes
explaining how much and what was removed. What sets McGee and
Warms' text apart from other readers are its introductions,
footnotes, and index. Detailed introductions examine critical
developments in theory, introduce key people and discuss historical
and personal influences on theorists. In extensive footnotes the
editors provide commentary that puts the writing in historical and
cultural context, defines unusual terms, translates non-English
phrases, identifies references to other scholars and their works,
and offers paraphrases and summaries of complex passages. The notes
identify and provide background information on hundreds of scholars
and concepts important in the development of anthropology. This
makes the essays more accessible to both students and current day
scholars. An extensive index makes this book an invaluable
reference tool.
