How does anthropology help us understand who we are?
What can it tell us about culture, from Melanesia to the City of London?
Why does it matter?
For well over one hundred years, social and cultural anthropologists have traversed the world from urban Zimbabwe to suburban England, Beijing to Barcelona, uncovering surprising facts, patterns, predilections and, sometimes, the inexplicable, in terms of how humans organize their lives and articulate their values. By weaving together theories and examples from around the world, Matthew Engelke brilliantly shows why anthropology matters: not only because it allows us to understand other points of view, but also because in the process, it reveals something about ourselves too.

2018年初交换的时候购得，算是人类学启蒙书，当时还是新出的书，作者也还在LSE。当我自己来英国念人类学，作者倒离开了LSE去了美国。看到这本书出了中译本，特地来标记一下。

很好用的导论入门书，清晰流畅、又如万花筒般呈现了人类学的不同面向，并撷取了不同面向下有代表性的研究。于我而言，虽然没有建立起学科框架，但是点亮了一些兴趣“点”，并感受到了人类学科的魅力（或许还有难度？），这就够了。
