European Anthropologies

Andrés Barrera-González is tenured Profesor Titular in Social Anthropology at Universidad Complutense, Madrid.

“This book provides new perspectives for the teaching of anthropology and would be a welcome addition not only to courses in the history of anthropology and the anthropology of Europe, but also to courses on post-Soviet societies. I would also highly recommend individual chapters to anyone undertaking fieldwork in one of the contexts covered in the volume who is not familiar with the history, scope, and institutional arrangements of anthropology there.” • Journal of Anthropological Research“These case studies are among the best I have ever read in the charting of the history of European national anthropologies, and of each nation’s connections to other national and international traditions.” • Thomas M. Wilson, Binghamton University
