Ethnographic Moment

Informationen zum Autor Robert Redfield Klappentext Robert Redfield challenged anthropologys focus on a static model of the isolated primitive community! pointing out the dynamic nature of the little communities he studied in Mesoamerica. The present volume covers the years from 1952 to 1958! the last of Redfields life. It focuses solely on his study of peasant communities! lacking in much of Redfields previously published work. At the core of the book is his correspondence with the philosopher-humanist F. G. Friedmann! which played an important role in Redfields conceptualiation of the complex urban-rural continuum that characteries the peasants world.
