Edited by Barbara D. Miller, George Washington University, USA The collection of 88 classic and modern articles maps the development of sociocultural anthropology from its beginnings in the mid-19th century to recent debates on the rise of new methods, increased attention to reflexivity and intersubjectivity, and the ongoing 'critique of anthropology' and the efforts to decolonize it. The four volumes include classic texts by Sir Edmund Leach, Franz Boas, Bronislaw Malinowski, Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead, Lucy Mair, Claude Lévi Strauss, Marshall Sahlins, and Maurice Godelier, as well as contemporary writings by authors such as Lila Abu-Lughod, Seth Holmes, Nancy ScheperHughes, Tom Boellstorff, Susan Greenhalgh, George Marcus, and Arjun Appadurai. Each volume is separately introduced, making this set an essential resource for scholars and students of sociocultural anthropology.
