Description

Explore a previously marginalized genre of anthropology with this academic work from Routledge. While anthropology written for a general audience is often neglected, this book addresses that gap by examining the literary and reflective aspects of the discipline. Building on trends started by postmodernist anthropologists in the 1980s, this collection features contributions from well-known anthropologists. The text examines a variety of fascinating themes, including the reasons behind the high number of women in the field and the cultural reactions to influential figures. Readers will find detailed discussions on how the Japanese reacted to Ruth Benedict, the reasons for Margaret Mead's massive success, and the ways French media promotes figures like Levi-Strauss and Louis Dumont. This book provides a deep look into how anthropology interacts with the public and the media.
