Anthropological Theory by John R. McGee and Richard L. Warms is a comprehensive exploration of the major theoretical frameworks and thinkers that have shaped anthropology. The book traces the evolution of anthropological thought, from its roots in the 19th century to contemporary approaches. It covers classical theories like evolutionism, diffusionism, functionalism, and structuralism, alongside more modern perspectives such as postmodernism, feminism, and globalization. By presenting key figures like Franz Boas, Bronislaw Malinowski, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Clifford Geertz, the text provides a thorough understanding of how anthropology has developed as a discipline. It emphasizes the historical and cultural contexts in which these theories emerged, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of anthropology.
