He infused anthropological practice with sociological theory and was instrumental in the establishment of social anthropology as a subfield. Redfield was one of the first Americans to dedicate himself to social anthropology, which had been predominantly shaped by British scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"1115\"\u003eA professor at the University of Chicago, Redfield’s work was deeply influenced by the sociological framework developed at the institution. He played a pivotal role in what has been termed the “second Chicago school of sociology.” This volume compiles Redfield's most significant contributions to social anthropology, which span the study of social change, peasant studies, and the comparative study of civilizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003eIn the 1920s, sociology and anthropology were housed within the same department at the University of Chicago, allowing Redfield to engage with both disciplines. His key focus was on understanding social change, especially in urban areas experiencing rapid transitions, such as neighborhoods with newly arrived immigrant populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1989\"\u003eThis book presents Redfield’s foundational contributions in three key areas: (1) The study of social change or modernization, (2) Peasant studies, and (3) The comparative study of civilizations. Through articles, book excerpts, and unpublished papers and letters, this volume traces Redfield's early influence on modernization theory and his groundbreaking work in interdisciplinary fields such as peasant studies and comparative civilizations. It offers a comprehensive exploration of an influential figure in anthropology and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROUTLEDGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49870700249392,"sku":"Sarat_9780367475802","price":1356.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-social-anthropology-41067809636656.jpg?v=1775961919","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/social-anthropology","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
