Description
Leading world anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen presents anthropology as a revolutionary way of thinking about human societies. The book is a perfect introduction to the field not only for students but also for readers who are not yet familiar with this scientific discipline. Eriksen engagingly outlines the history of anthropology and fundamental concepts such as society, person, culture, and translation. He also introduces the methods of field research and the main topics that anthropologists deal with. In the book What is Anthropology?, Eriksen convincingly shows why anthropology is one of the fundamental scientific disciplines and how its findings are reflected in many contemporary debates not only about ecology, identity, and the essence of humanity.
