Download or read book Contrarian Anthropology written by Laura Nader and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the workings of boundary maintenance in the areas of anthropology, energy, gender, and law, Nader contrasts dominant trends in academia with work that pushes the boundaries of acceptable methods and theories. Although the selections illustrate the history of one anthropologist’s work over half a century, the wider intent is to label a field as contrarian to reveal unwritten rules that sometimes hinder transformative thinking and to stimulate boundary crossing in others.
