Description

Discover the first full length account of the life and ideas of Mary Douglas, a leading British social anthropologist. This biography by Richard Fardon provides a deep look into the woman whose work shaped social science throughout the second half of the twentieth century.

The book offers a detailed analysis of her most famous works, including Purity and Danger (1966) and Natural Symbols (1970). Beyond her foundational anthropological studies, this text explores her later, more controversial contributions to the fields of economics, consumption, religion, and risk analysis in contemporary societies.
