Description
|
|
|
|
Anthropology originated as the study of "primitive" cultures. But that concept exposes presumptions of superiority and the entitlement of the West to speak for other "less civilized" cultures. Introducing Anthropology traces the evolution of an uncertain human science seeking to transcend its own unsavory history, from its genesis in ancient Greece to its varied forms in contemporary times. Like the other titles in the Introducing series, this book illuminates the essential arguments and concepts of its subject in a graphic context of informational and impressionistic cartoons, drawings, and diagrams, along with quotes, voice balloons, sidebars, and other visual commentary.
