Anthropology and Anthropologists provides an entertaining and provocative account of British social anthropology. The book elicited strong reactions on first publication in 1973 but soon established itself as one of the introductions for students of anthropology. Forty years later this classic work has been revisited in light of recent scholarship and developments in the field. Adam Kuper places British social anthropology in historical and international context sketching its changing form and influence. He describes the careers of the major theorists their ideas and their contributions in relation to the intellectual and institutional environments in which they worked. Radically revised the fourth edition draws on new research to probe the colonial setting and the internal politics of the discipline.
