This fully revised second edition of Mark Moberg's lively book offers a fresh look at the history of anthropological theory. Covering key concepts and theorists, Engaging Anthropological Theory examines the historical context of anthropological ideas and the contested nature of anthropology itself. Anthropological ideas regarding human diversity have always been rooted in the socio-political conditions in which they arose and exploring them in context helps students understand how and why they evolved, and how theory relates to life and society. Illustrated throughout, this engaging text moves away from the dry recitation of past viewpoints in anthropology and brings the subject matter to life.

Anthropology ought to have changed the world. What went wrong? Engaging Anthropology takes an unflinching look at why the discipline has not gained the popularity and respect it deserves in the twenty-first century. From identity to multicultural society, new technologies to work, globalization to marginalization, anthropology has a vital contribution to make. While showcasing the intellectual power of the discipline, Eriksen takes the anthropological community to task for its unwillingness to engage more proactively with the media in a wide range of current debates. If anthropology matters as a key tool with which to understand modern society beyond the ivory towers of academia, why are so few anthropologists willing to come forward in times of national or global crisis? Eriksen argues that anthropology needs to rediscover the art of narrative and abandon arid analysis and, more provocatively, anthropologists need to lose their fear of plunging into the vexed issues modern societies present. Engaging Anthropology makes an impassioned plea for positioning anthropology as the universal intellectual discipline. Eriksen has provided the wake-up call we were all awaiting.

This book presents an overview of important currents of thought in social and cultural anthropology, from the 19th century to the present. It introduces readers to the origins, context and continuing relevance of a fascinating and exciting kaleidoscope of ideas that have transformed the humanities and social sciences, and the way we understand ourselves and the societies we live in today. Each chapter provides a thorough yet engaging introduction to a particular theoretical school, style or conceptual issue. Together they build up to a detailed and comprehensive critical introduction to the most salient areas of the field. The introduction reflects on the substantive themes which tie the chapters together and on what the very notions of �theory� and �theoretical school� bring to our understanding of anthropology as a discipline. The book tracks a core lecture series given at Cambridge University and is essential reading for all undergraduate students undertaking a course on anthropological theory or the history of anthropological thought. It will also be useful more broadly for students of social and cultural anthropology, sociology, human geography and cognate disciplines in the social sciences and humanities.

The book “Neo Anthropological Theory” presents the contributions of those great anthropological thinkers who have propounded their theories after Second World War particularly from 1950 onwards. About the contributions of great classical anthropological thinkers, we have sufficient books. But about the contributions of great neo anthropological thinkers, we have few books having expressions in foreign English language. They lack Indian expressions. As a result Indian students and scholars of anthropology are facing a great problem because they do not find reading materials on neo anthropological theory sufficiently and systematically under one cover. The sole purpose of the book is to purely contextual written with a view to provide contributions of neo anthropological thinkers under one cover systematically in simple English language with Indian expression. The book consists of contributions of neo anthropological thinkers in the following areas: • Neo evolutionism • Cultural ecology and Neo cultural ecology. • Cultural materialism • Neo Psychological anthropology. • Structuralism • Biologised anthropology • Cognitive anthropology • Symbolic anthropology • Interpretive anthropology • Critical anthropology • Modernism • Post-modernism • Industrialism and post-industrialism • Globalisation • Legacy of two Great thinkers in anthropology • Karl Marx
