It takes patience and dedication to recover and communicate the experiences and perspectives of those for whom the historical record is lacking or severely limited by the interpretation of others—it takes reading beyond words. The first edition of this highly praised collection presented some of the best new efforts to examine critically the possible interpretations of Native North American history and Native-European encounters over 500 years. In doing so it served as a model for revisiting Native history.To this extensively revised new edition, three new "encounter studies" have been added, presenting original and thought-provoking work not previously published: the Frobisher expeditions and their relations with the Inuit in the 1570s; Thanadelthur, the remarkable Dene woman who brought her people to a peace with the Cree and to trade with the Hudson's Bay Company in the early 1700s; and the previously unexamined dynamics of Cree-Oblate missionary relations on Hudson Bay in the late 1800s to mid-1900s, as seen from both sides.

Recognizing that anthropology -- the study of human beings and culture -- has deep roots in Western experience, this concise introduction to the topic begins in antiquity, with such writers as Herodotus and Aristotle, then moves forward through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the nineteenth century, when anthropological thought took on a more disciplined form. The twentieth century is, however, the central focus of the text -- the authors cover all of the main stands, including American, British, and French anthropological traditions. It also features chapters on the theory of archaeology, physical anthropology, and cultural anthropology. A History of Anthropological Theory is thus a remarkably comprehensive, accessible introduction to the field.

"Roberta Garner's successful Social Theory: Continuity and Confrontation is now available in a two-volume format, divided as follows:   Social Theory, Volume I: From the Beginnings to the 1960s     Social Theory, Volume II: Power and Identity in the Global Era     Social Theory: From the Beginnings to the 1960s offers students substantial selections from the classic texts alongside unusual and thought-provoking examples of theory in action. The organization of the reader and Garner's short introductions to selections enable students to understand the historical flow of social theory, trace continuities in theory, and see how disagreements and confrontations shape theory. Her introductions, written in clear, down-to-earth language, highlight links among theorists. She shows that theoretical traditions are not rigidly separated from one another, but are always in conversation?addressing and challenging each other. She discusses how changes in society bring about changes in theories and notes the relationship between theories and research methods. Attention is given throughout the book to counter-currents as well as mainstream social thought.    Designed to be easily read in conjunction with most theory texts currently available, the book contains selections which are drawn from the works of classic theorists including Niccol Machiavelli, Edmund Burke, Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Georg Simmel, George Herbert Mead, W.E.B. DuBois, Walter Benjamin, Antonio Gramsci, Talcott Parsons, C. Wright Mills, and others.   Special Combined Price: A special package price is available on course text orders when Social Theory, Volume I: From the Beginnings to the 1960s is ordered together with A Good Book, In Theory by Alan Sears.
