This text presents a synthesis of social and cultural anthropology.

Roger Keesing was concerned with the political and ethical implications of anthropological fieldwork and sensitive to the global conditions of inequality caused by the spread of capitalist relations of production.In this revision, Dr Andrew Strathern has preserved Keesing's vision, arguments and the ethnographies presented as illustrations of Keesing's theories.

New features include revised material on gender relations, recognizing and discussing the feminist and post-feminist approaches in cultural anthropology; a discussion of the shifts in anthropology (postmodernism) and global relations, putting Keesing's theories in the context of contemporary society; and 85 updated case studies illustrating the theories and concepts discussed.
