Over a sixty-year career, he and his colleagues synthesized trends in evolutionary, Marxist, and ecological anthropology, moving them into mainstream thought. Sahlins is considered a critic of reductive theories of human nature, an exponent of culture as a key concept in anthropology, and a politically engaged intellectual opposed to militarism and imperialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collection brings together some of the world\u2019s most distinguished anthropologists to explore and advance Sahlins\u2019s legacy. All of the essays are based on original research, most dealing with cultural change &#8211; a major theme of Sahlins\u2019s research, especially in the contexts of Fijian and Hawaiian societies. Like Sahlins\u2019s practice of anthropology, these essays display a rigorous, humanistic study of cultural forms, refusing to accept comfort over accuracy, not shirking from the moral implications of their analyses. Contributors include the late Greg Dening, one of the most eminent historians of the Pacific, Martha Kaplan, Patrick Kirch, Webb Keane, Jonathan Friedman, and Joel Robbins, with a preface by the late Claude Levi-Strauss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A unique volume that will complement the many books and articles by Sahlins himself, A Practice of Anthropology is an exciting new addition to the history of anthropological study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mqup.ca\/practice-of-anthropology--a-products-9780773546899.php\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Book Release from McGill-Queen&#8217;s University Press: A Practice of Anthropology The Thought and Influence of Marshall Sahlins Overview Marshall Sahlins (b. 1930) is an American anthropologist who played a major role in the development of anthropological theory in the second half of the twentieth century.
