Description
A collection of essays in honour of Julian H. Steward, this festschrift brings together contributions from former students and colleagues who have been influenced by his work. The essays cover a range of anthropological topics, reflecting the diversity of interests and concerns that Steward's own research embodied. The contributors were encouraged to write on subjects of greatest current interest to them, resulting in a diverse and eclectic collection of pieces. This volume serves as a testament to Steward's enduring impact on the field of anthropology, and provides insight into his contributions to cultural determinism and evolutionism.
