Description

Comparison has long been the backbone of anthropology, yet recent developments including critical self-reflection and new case studies situated in a globalized world have pushed comparative work aside. This Routledge book addresses how comparison as theory and method became a casualty of the critique of grand theory and growing mistrust of objectivist methodologies in the social sciences. The work argues that anthropology must resume its central task of exploring humankind through comparison, integrating newfound critical self-awareness with evolving global perspectives. This text is essential for students and scholars seeking to understand how comparative approaches can be revitalised within contemporary anthropological practice whilst maintaining rigorous analytical standards.

Key Features

Routledge publishes this academic work exploring the role of comparative methodology in anthropological research and theory.

The book addresses how comparison serves as a foundational approach for understanding human societies across diverse cultural contexts.

This study examines critical self-reflection in anthropology and how it relates to comparative analysis in the modern globalised world.

The work explores the tension between objectivist hard-science methodology and interpretive approaches within social sciences anthropology.
