Cultural anthropology studies human society – from tribal to complex modern societies. Throughout its history, culturalanthropology has involved diverse approaches to the broad range of human cultural expression. The actions andinteractions of humans are of interest to Cultural Anthropologists, who in their discipline try to understand what it means tobe “human”. This major work gives an authoritative overview of Cultural Anthropology in four volumes.

Volume I: Moorings includes articles — by cultural anthropologists and others — that have had a particularly forceful impacton the anthropological imagination in the last fifty years.Volume II: Modernities explores the many ways cultural anthropologists have examined, critiqued and been part ofmodernist projects and work through topics such as nationalism, citizenship and human rights.Volume III: Emergence opens up anthropological work that has focused on the re-making of society and culture in the wakeof massive change such as “globalization”.Volume IV: Engagements examines engagements between anthropologists in different national and cultural contexts,engagements with other disciplines and engagements with the public sphere.
