Sobre IBD

This book explores major shifts and reorientations in the recent history of American Anthropology, reflecting the author’s vision of what anthropology is and what it has the potential to become. The book engages three fundamental intellectual-political challenges that American anthropology is destined to confront (or at its peril, avoid): becoming more self-reflexive, achieving theoretical and methodological holism, and defense of universal human rights.
