Description

Explore the complexities of social anthropology with Closed Systems and Open Minds: The Limits of Naivety in Social Anthropology. Published by Routledge, this collection of essays examines the study and comparison of tribal societies and small fields of social life.

It questions how scholars should use existing research from other disciplines and whether they must make assumptions about complex events. This book provides a deep look into the methodological questions that define the field of social anthropology today.
