Continued challenges to theory and ethnographic method have led scholars to explore new definitions and dimensions of anthropological inquiry, even to redraw the contours of the field. As scholars seek to further redefine anthropology they also face the challenge of conveying the importance and creativity of this new work to future generations of students. Designed to meet this challenge, Foundations of Cultural Thought offers learned, concise, and accessible works on topics at the heart of anthropology's future. Each book will be written by an author of distinctive accomplishment and will build upon the field's best writing and research, providing a prospective essay on transformations taking place in anthropological and cultural theory.
