Reflections on Theory and History in Anthropology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780761834540)

In Reflections on Theory and History in Anthropology, author Frank Salamone examines his more than 30 years of experience in the field of cultural anthropology. During this time, he has conducted fieldwork and archival research in places such as Nigeria, Kenya, Canada, Venezuela, and the United States. Through his work he has explored religious conversion, the comparisons between Islam and Christianity, the nature of fieldwork, ethics, ethnicity and its political aspects, development, and the history of anthropology. In this rich memoir, Salamone reflects upon his experiences as an anthropologist and offers an optimistic, yet realistic, appraisal of the field's past, present, and future.
