More about the book

The study critically examines the rising prominence of power in anthropology, arguing that the traditional concept of culture is insufficient for understanding today's complexities. It explores the impact of globalization on power dynamics, offering a historical overview from early political anthropology to contemporary philosophical perspectives. Additionally, it addresses recent attempts by some anthropologists to rehabilitate the culture concept, highlighting the ongoing debate within the discipline about the relevance and explanatory power of these frameworks.
