Reviews
'Its great merit is that it not only describes satisfactorily all major developments in method, theory and controversy; it also gives much biographical and sometimes gossipy information about the persons responsible for those developments.' - British Book News

Revised edition,New Edition
Synopsis
On its first publication in 1973 Adam Kuper's entertaining history of half a century of British social anthropology provoked strong reactions. But his often irreverent account soon established itself as one of the introductions to anthropology. Since the second revised edition was published in 1983, important developments have occurred within British and European anthropology. This third, enlarged and updated edition responds to these fresh currents. Adam Kuper takes the story up to the present day, and a new final chapter traces the emergence of a modern European social anthropology in contrast with developments in American cultural anthropology over the last two decades. Anthropology and Anthropologists provides a critical historical account of modern British social anthropology: it describes the careers of the major theorists, their ideas and their contributions in the context of the intellectual and institutional environments in which they worked., This substantially revised and updated third edition takes the critical and historical account of British anthropology from mid-nineteenth century up to the present day, discussing the significant developments of the last ten years.On its first publication in 1973 Adam Kuper's entertaining history of half a century of British social anthropology provoked strong reactions.
