{"product_id":"fifty-years-of-anthropology-and-george-spindler-9780805834956","title":"Fifty Years of Anthropology and Education 1950-2000: A Spindler Anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge and Louise Spindler are widely regarded as significant founders of the field of educational anthropology. This book brings together their best, most seminal work from the last 50 years--a time frame representing the developmental epoch of the field--and binds them together with a master commentary by George Spindler. Previously scattered over a wide range of publications, the articles collected here allow for a unified view of the Spindlers' work and of the development of the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book opens with an insightful Foreword by Henry T. Trueba, a fascinating piece titled \"A Life With Anthropology and Education: Interviews With George and Louise Spindler by Ray McDermott and Frederick Erickson,\" and George Spindler's \"Previews\" essay which gives the reader a grasp of the whole to which the parts of the book contribute. These pieces frame and contextualize the work that follows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Part I, \u003ci\u003eCharacter Defining\u003c\/i\u003e, many of the major themes of this volume are first encountered; this section sets the stage for what follows. Part II, \u003ci\u003eComparisons\u003c\/i\u003e, focuses on comparison, which the Spindlers view as essential to an anthropological approach. Part III, \u003ci\u003eEthnography in Action\u003c\/i\u003e, is devoted to the explicit exposition of ethnographic methods (though actually every piece in the book is a demonstration of method). Part IV, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, moves from a traditional representation of American Culture to a processual analysis of how the culture is transmitted in real situations, and finally to an interpretation of right-wing actions that seem to constitute a reactive movement; the implications for education are pursued. Part V, \u003ci\u003eCultural Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e, explains what cultural therapy is and how it may be applied to teachers and students. The volume concludes with Part VI, \u003ci\u003eOrientation\u003c\/i\u003e, Susan Parman's overview of the works of the Spindlers that spans their whole career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Spindler,Louise Spindler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805834958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805834956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Psychology Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.27w x 1.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 130","brand":"George Spindler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086884483327,"sku":"9780805834956","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e888599-7427-4b50-a7d5-458ef30f829d.jpg?v=1769097131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fifty-years-of-anthropology-and-george-spindler-9780805834956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
