Readings for a History of Anthropological Theory, Third Edition
For a fundamental grounding in the ideas that define anthropology as an intellectual discipline, one couldn't ask for a better-chosen selection of accessible key texts. With new inclusions for this edition, Erickson and Murphy take anthropology back to its anti-reductive roots and challenge us to explore the meaning of contemporary biological claims about human diversity. This is must-reading for anyone who wants to know what anthropology is all about.(Jonathan Marks, University of North Carolina, Charlotte)
