Critics Against Culture : Anthropological Observers of Mass Society
Editorial Reviews
Review
“In terms of recent theoretical developments and alliances in anthropology, Critics against Culture demonstrates the potentials and limits of American anthropology as a practice of social and cultural criticism, and it provides among the clearest and most intelligent discussions of anthropology’s relationship to the influential interdisciplinary movement known as cultural studies.”—George Marcus, Rice University
Book Description
Critics against Culture: Anthropological Observers of Mass Society—a collection of essays on the history of anthropology focused on Benedict, Boas, Sapir, and modernist thought by one of American anthropology’s leading scholars—explores the roots of anthropology’s early involvement with the study of American society. The essays making up this volume, focused on the critique of mass society and the history of the culture concept, examine Boasian anthropologists as critics of mass society. The book also includes two new, unpublished essays: one on Alexis de Tocqueville and Margaret Mead, the other on Jules Henry and Richard Hoggart. Handler offers a striking analysis of Boasian cultural criticism and the intersection between anthropology, American studies, and cultural studies.
