Cultural Materialism: The Struggle for a Science of Culture,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Cultural Materialism, published in 1979, was Marvin Harris's first fulllength explication of the theory with which his work has been associated. While Harris has developed and modified some of his ideas over the past two decades, generations of professors have looked to this volume as the essential starting point for explaining the science of culture to students. Now available again after a hiatus, this edition of Cultural Materialism contains the complete text of the original book plus a new introduction by Orna and Allen Johnson that updates his ideas and examines the impact that the book and theory have had on anthropological theorizing.
