Description
Anthropology as a way of thinking about the human world is explored in this accessible and innovative book. Leading anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen draws examples from current affairs and previous studies to examine key issues in anthropology, including its history, research methods, and central concepts such as society and culture. Eriksen looks at how anthropology can be applied to various topics, including Brexit, the rise of populist movements, climate change, and social media. He argues that anthropology is a fundamental intellectual discipline, particularly relevant in the 21st century. This second edition includes a new introduction and updates throughout, making it an ideal choice for students and anyone interested in understanding this field. What is Anthropology? provides a clear and persuasive explanation of why anthropology matters, making it a valuable resource for those looking to understand the human world and its complexities.
