Introduction to the Series

One of the notable objectives of the Library of Anthropology is to provide a vehicle for the expression in print of new, controversial, and seemingly unorthodox theoretical, methodological, and philosophical approaches to anthropological data. Another objective follows from the multi-dimensional or holistic approach in anthropology which is the disciplines unique contribution toward understanding human behavior. The books in this series will deal with such fields as archaeology, physical anthropology, linguistics, ethnology, and social anthropology. Since no restrictions will be placed on the types of cultures included, a New York or New Delhi setting will be considered as relevant to anthropological theory and methods as the highlands of New Guinea.
