Description

Explore the evolution of anthropological thought with Critical Anthropology: Foundational Works from Routledge. This collection marks a significant shift in the discipline, moving away from ideas of bounded societies and evolutionary trajectories toward deep analyses of interconnected economic, political, and social processes. This volume gathers influential writings that have shaped modern understanding. It includes classic articles and spirited rebuttals from some of the most prominent scholars in the field, including Eric Wolf, Marshall Sahlins, Sidney Mintz, Andre Gunder Frank, and Michael Taussig. Editor Stephen Nugent provides essential context for these key debates. Originally published in the journal Critique of Anthropology, these works are presented with new insights to help readers navigate the complex history of the field. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars looking to understand the academic shifts that redefined how we study human societies and global connections.
