Urban Anthropology: Cities in Their Cultural Settings (Prentice-Hall series in anthropology)

Is anthropology dead? Outmoded in an increasingly urbanized world lacking primitives? If anthropology can say new things about cities, the author reasons, then surely it is living in the complex present rather than expiring with the primitive past. Dr. Fox's book is an in-depth study of urban institutions and their cultural settings in many different societies and times. Part 1. Anthropology And The City -- Part 2.
