Book Synopsis Reclaiming a Scientific Anthropology by : Lawrence A. Kuznar
Book excerpt: "A strong advocate for anthropology as science, Lawrence Kuznar reviews the recent challenges to this way of thought from creationists and "scientific" racists on one side, and postmodernists, Marxists and feminists on the other. Kuznar provides a brief review of anthropology and other fields on the science/humanism debate, as well as offering several important case examples from cultural anthropology and archaeology showing science in action. An interesting, provocative book for anthropologists and ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate classes in theory and method"--Back cover.
