This well-read copy of “Reinventing Anthropology” offers a fascinating glimpse into the critical debates that shaped the field of anthropology in the late 20th century. Published in 1972, this anthology edited by Dell Hymes brought together essays by leading scholars who challenged the traditional assumptions and methods of anthropology. The contributors, including Clifford Geertz, David M. Schneider, and Hymes himself, called for a more reflexive and interpretive approach that acknowledged the researcher’s role in shaping the ethnographic encounter. This volume was instrumental in the shift towards a more self-critical and culturally relativistic anthropology, making it a seminal work for students and scholars of the discipline. While this particular copy may show signs of its academic life, its well-worn pages testify to the enduring impact and relevance of the ideas contained within.
