Description
Anthropology Why It Matters by Tim Ingold explores the relevance of anthropology in addressing pressing global issues. In this passionately argued book, Ingold shows how a field of study once committed to ideals of progress has been reborn as a discipline of hope, destined to take centre stage in debating the most important intellectual and ethical questions of our time. Ingold argues that anthropology matters to us all, bringing together the wisdom and experience of people everywhere. This book introduces Polity's Why It Matters series, which aims to inspire a new generation of students by making the case for the importance of their subjects.
