It presents a clear narrative of how each theoretical school paved the way for the next—Evolutionism gave way to Diffusionism, which was succeeded by Historical and Dialectical Materialism, Functionalism, Structure-Functionalism, Culture and Personality approaches, Structuralism, Cultural Ecology, and other modern theories such as New Ethnography, Interpretive Anthropology, Postmodernism, and Human Materialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book further explains key anthropological concepts like Ethnocentrism, Cultural Relativism, Emic and Etic perspectives, and National Character Studies. It profiles the lives and contributions of foundational thinkers including E.B. Tylor, Lewis Henry Morgan, Karl Marx, Franz Boas, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssential for students, educators, and researchers in anthropology, sociology, psychology, and social science disciplines, this book serves as both a scholarly reference and an educational guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnthropological Ideas in Historical Perspective\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvolutionism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiffusionism: British, German and American\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Particularism of Franz Boas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish Social Anthropology: Structure-Functionalism and Functionalism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCulture and Personality \/ Psychological School in Anthropology\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeo-Evolutionism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStructuralism: Claude Levi-Strauss and Prague School of Linguistics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Ethnography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterialist Theories in Anthropology\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostmodernism and Beyond\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostscript\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Vijoy S.
