Category: Ethnologie

Anthropologists George Marcus and Michael Fischer argue that, since the 1960s, anthropological writing has evolved into a critical function for the purpose of using knowledge of other cultures to examine hidden assumptions about our own. In surveying this development of anthropological writing, the authors gives us a fascinating sweep across the whole history of 20th-century anthropology.
