In this book Adam Kuper, one of the most gifted of the younger generation of British social anthropologists, traces the growth of the subject over these fifty years, the development of its theoretical framework and the personalities of the men and women involved. In the final chapters he considers the present and future of the subject, for the moment apparently adrift from some of its theoretical moorings and on an uncertain course among the rocks of Marx, Freud, Lйvi-Strauss and sociology.
