{"product_id":"9780759117426","title":"Theories of Culture in Postmodern Times","description":"Marvin Harris is arguably the most influential, prolific anthropological theorist of our time. This book brings together many of the strands of his work of the past two decades into a unified, contemporary statement on anthropological theory and practice. In this book, he presents his current views on the nature of culture addressing such issues as the mental\/behavioral debate, emics and etics, and anthropological holism. He resoundly critiques many current theoretical trends_from sociobiology to postmodernism to Afrocentrism. And he offers a cultural materialist perspective on diverse contemporary issues such as the IQ question and the fall of communism. Harris' thought-provoking and controversial theoretical views will be required reading for all anthropologists, social theorists, and their students.","brand":"AltaMira Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127523262704,"sku":"9780759117426","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780759117426_p0.jpg?v=1769903859","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780759117426","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
