This review is from: Local Knowledge: Further Essays In Interpretive Anthropology (Basic Books Classics) (Paperback)
Cultural scholarship has grown to depend upon people like Clifford Geertz for the conceptual tools required for such studies. Representations, events, societies, individuals, institutions, economies, material practices, et al, interact with such a degree of complexity that conceptual tools and methods, such as those discussed in these essays, allow anyone interested in exploring the meaning of culture the opportunity to ride the avalanche of symbols which both clarify and confuse that meaning.

This review is from: Local Knowledge: Further Essays In Interpretive Anthropology (Basic Books Classics) (Paperback)
This is composisted of short essays after he published the excellent masterpiece, "The interpritation of culture". It is not easy reading because of his writing style. However, it makes more sense to understand what is Anthropology and how undrstand culture.
