Anthropology - Theoretical Practice in Culture and Society, 2001, 416 p. -

This book builds on a collaborative project sponsored by UNESCO to offer an overview of social and cultural anthroplogy. This volume explores the "militant middle ground" between theory and practice, humanistic and scientific approaches, and symbolic and materialist perspectives. The author brings his collaborators into a broader conversation about the ways in which social and cultural anthropology can illuminate aspects of the human condition that less intimate approaches cannot reveal.
