Book Description
This work presents Sapir’s most comprehensive statement on the concepts of culture, on method and theory in anthropology and other social sciences, on personality organization, and on the individual’s place in culture and society. Extensive discussions on the role of language and other symbolic systems in culture, ethnographic method, and social interaction are also included.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[…] Judith Irvine has done a remarkable job of reconstructing Sapir’s lectures from fifteen sets of notes taken by different individuals in three different years. This is an act of homage to a great and charismatic anthropologist.” Philip K. Bock in Anthropological Linguistics
