Contrarian Anthropology

Know about the book -

Contrarian Anthropology is written by Laura Nader and published by Berghahn Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1785337076 (ISBN 10) and 9781785337079 (ISBN 13).

Analyzing the workings of boundary maintenance in the areas of anthropology, energy, gender, and law, Nader contrasts dominant trends in academia with work that pushes the boundaries of acceptable methods and theories. Although the selections illustrate the history of one anthropologist’s work over half a century, the wider intent is to label a field as contrarian to reveal unwritten rules that sometimes hinder transformative thinking and to stimulate boundary crossing in others.
