About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Examines the history of social anthropology as an emergent discipline in the interwar years. In particular, it focuses on key practitioners, such as Malinowski and Fortes, and explores how far ideological approaches adopted by social anthropologists were defined by the institutions in which they developed, particularly in response to key issues of the time: colonialism, anti-Semitism and communism. Octavo. Original glossy boards. Issued without a dust jacket. A near fine copy.
