Book Synopsis The Anthropology of Real Life by : Philip Carl Salzman
Book excerpt: The Anthropology of Real Life is about how events push and pull, oppress and liberate, enhance and destroy people's lives. While people are shaped by their cultures and their position in society, events--whether authored by natural forces, by other people, or by people themselves--take on a life of their own, and become independent forces determining human destinies. An anthropology of events shows the way in which the substance and texture of life change over time, as one major event fades and another arises, itself only to fade and be replaced by yet a new event.
