From the publisher

The Future of Anthropological Knowledge the chapters explore the question of the nature of social knowledge from a variety of perspectives and locations such as China, Africa, the USA and elsewhere. By examining the changing nature of anthropological knowledge and of the production of that knowledge, this book challenges the notion that only western societies have produced social theories of modernity and of global scope. Knowledge of society can no longer be restricted to a knowledge of face-to-face social relations but must encompass the effect of technology, global consumption patterns and changing geo-political configurations. The Future of Anthropological Knowledge will be of interest to anthropologists and students of culture and society.

From the rear cover

Anthropology is no longer a single discipline, but rather a range of different practices carried out in a wide variety of social contexts. New questions have been posed by the challenge which third world, black and feminist scholars have provided to the established agenda of the social sciences and humanities in recent years. It is in this context that the nature and purpose of social knowledge, and in particular anthropological knowledge, comes into particular focus.
