Anthropology and Egalitarianism is an artful and accessible introduction to key themes in cultural anthropology. Writing in a deeply personal style and using material from his fieldwork in three dramatically different localesIndonesia, West Africa, and Monticello, the historic home of Thomas JeffersonEric Gable shows why the ethnographic encounter is the core of the discipline's method and the basis of its unique contribution to understanding the human condition.

Overall, this book is a success and a useful text for ethnographers of all types.
