Drawing from some of the most significant scholarly work of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Blackwell Anthologies in Social and Cultural Anthropology series offers a comprehensive and unique perspective on the ever-changing field of anthropology. It represents both a collection of classic readers and an exciting challenge to the norms that have shaped this discipline over the past century.

Each edited volume is devoted to a traditional subdiscipline of the field such as the anthropology of religion, linguistic anthropology, or medical anthropology; and provides a foundation in the canonical readings of the selected area. Aware that such subdisciplinary definitions are still widely recognized and useful - but increasingly problematic - these volumes are crafted to include a rare and invaluable perspective on social and cultural anthropology at the onset of the 21st century.

Moving from classic readings, each text provides a selection of contemporary works that underscore the artificiality of subdisciplinary distinctions and direct students, researchers, and general readers to the new directions in which anthropology is moving.
