The New Anthropology and the Human Predicament,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anthropology (Paperback)
This neat little volume, by the author of __Sons of the Shaking Earth__, is "neither a history of anthropology nor a review of traditional anthropological subject matter," according to its cover synopsis.At the time of writing, Eric R. Wolf was Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at Herbert H. Lehman College of the City University of New York. The General Editor, in the Foreward, makes the most profound summary of this little work, when he writes "Professor Wolf shows how scientific investigations, imaginatively pursued, ends in a quasi-religious vision of the human predicament and the human future." Chapters are these: The New Anthropology, Human Design and Cultural Code, The Transformation of Culture, with an Epilogue, Bibliography, and Index.
