This handy, concise book covers the life of Mary Douglas, one of
the most important anthropologists of the second half of the 20th
century. Her work focused on how human groups classify each other,
and how they resolve the anomalies that then arise. Classification,
she argued, emerges from practices of social life, and is a factor
in all deep and intractable human disputes. This biography offers
an introduction to how her distinctive approach developed across a
long and productive career and how it applies to current pressing
issues of social conflict and planetary survival. From the Preface:
The influence of Professor Dame Mary Douglas (1921-2007) upon each
of the social sciences and many of the disciplines in the
humanities is vast. The list of her works is also vast, and this
presents a problem of choice for the many readers who want to get a
general idea of what she wrote and its significance, but who are
somewhat baffled about where to begin. Our book offers a short
overview and suggests why her key writings remain significant
today.
