With this book, the world-famous Norwegian anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen has introduced thousands of students into the world of social anthropology, both in Scandinavia and elsewhere. Through the anthropologist's lens, Eriksen finds answers to big, fundamental questions by looking into the small societies of the world, convincing that the hard-to-understand is also present in local culture and that we can best see our own society in the mirror of other societies. ... Why is the concept of multiculturalism
misleading? What do religion, science, and magic have in common? How do politics and economics function in societies where money and state governance do not exist? What is the significance of kinship in society and human life? The anthropological studies examined in the book can provide answers not only to these questions. No matter how exotic, annoying, strange, or wrong foreign cultures may seem to us, understanding them requires a theoretical, analytical, and methodological approach. This book offers a deep insight into both the history, theory, and methodology of social anthropology, as well as the world's sociocultural diversity.
