Visions of Culture Summary

Visions of Culture: An Introduction to Anthropological Theories and Theorists by Jerry D. Moore

This new edition of Jerry D. Moore's Visions of Culture presents introductory anthropology students with a brief, readable, and balanced treatment of theoretical developments in the field. The key ideas of major theorists are briefly described and-unique to this textbook-linked to the biographical and fieldwork experiences that helped shape their theories. The impact of each scholar on contemporary anthropology is presented, along with numerous examples, quotes from the theorists' writings, and a description of the broader intellectual setting in which these anthropologists worked.

Visions of Culture Reviews

A rich combination of biography and theoretical summary that brings anthropology theorists to life by tying together elements of their personal, fieldwork, and theoretical dimensions. -- Reed Riner, Northern Arizona University
My students and I have found that Visions of Culture helps them identify important anthropological concepts and ideas and, further, associate ideas with a person and the totality of his or her work and life. -- Christina von Mayrhauser, California State University, Northridge
