Among the anthropologists

Adam Kuper explores the ethnographic and historical description of major schools and actors within Anthropology, including Darwin, Freud, Rivers, Radcliffe-Brown, Levi-Strauss and Gellner. Among the Anthropologists illuminates the historical circumstances, political forces and intellectual fashions which have shaped and continue to shape both Anthropology and its practitioners.
