'Fills a gap and fills it in an exemplary fashion ... Students at all levels will learn a lot from it, and, perhaps more importantly, be provoked to think more.' Journal of Area Studies
Ranging from the Pacific islands to the Arctic north and from small villages to modern nation states, this concise introduction to social and cultural anthropology reveals the rich global variation in social life and culture. The text also provides a clear overview of anthropology, focusing on central topics such as kinship, ethnicity, ritual and political systems, offering a wealth of examples that demonstrate the enormous scope of anthropology and the importance of a comparative perspective. Unlike previous texts on the subject, Small Places, Large Issues broadens the study to incorporate the anthropology of complex modern societies, providing a unique key text for all students of social and cultural anthropology.
This new edition is updated throughout and includes a new chapter on the history of anthropology. It also shows clearly and comprehensively why classic studies of small-scale societies are relevant for the study of complex phenomena such as nationalism, consumption and the Internet.
