History and Theory in Anthropology cover

An updated and expanded edition of Barnard's classic overview of the history and theory of anthropology.

Twenty years after the first edition of his classic overview of the history and theory of anthropology, Barnard has written a revised edition for a new generation of students. It has a wider geographic coverage and includes new material on feminism, Marxism, action and process, nationalism, indigeneity, and 'race'.In the past twenty years, there have been exciting new developments in the field of anthropology. This second edition of Barnard's classic textbook on the history and theory of anthropology has been revised and expanded to include up-to-date coverage on all the most important topics in the field. Its coverage ranges from traditional topics like the beginnings of the subject, evolutionism, functionalism, structuralism, and Marxism, to ideas about globalization, post-colonialism, and notions of 'race' and of being 'indigenous'. There are several new chapters, along with an extensive glossary, index, dates of birth and death, and award-winning diagrams. Although anthropology is often dominated by trends in Europe and North America, this edition makes plain the contributions of trendsetters in the rest of the world too. With its comprehensive yet clear coverage of concepts, this is essential reading for a new generation of anthropology students.
