Synopsis:
Anthropologist are in a funk these days: other fields, such as history and literary studies, are having a heyday with concepts anthropologists developed but have since discredited, and postmodernists just jeer at what they actually do believe in. Ten essays suggest remedies such as throwing everything out and starting over, limiting their study to the American middle-class, and undertaking an "archaeology" (or perhaps psychoanalysis) of the discipline. Paper edition (unseen), $15.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
