Book Description
Using cultural anthropology to analyze debates that reverberate throughout the human sciences, George E. Marcus and Michael M. J. Fischer look closely at cultural anthropology's past accomplishments, its current predicaments, its future direction, and the insights it has to offer other fields of study. The result is a provocative work that is important for scholars interested in a critical approach to social science, art, literature, and history, as well as anthropology. This second edition considers new challenges to the field which have arisen since the book's original publication.

Anthropologists George Marcus and Michael Fischer argue that, since the 1960s, anthropological writing has evolved into a critical function for the purpose of using knowledge of other cultures to examine hidden assumptions about our own. In surveying this development of anthropological writing, the authors gives us a fascinating sweep across the whole history of 20th-century anthropology.
