"You hold in your hand or are reading on your screen the latest collaborative work of Serena Nanda and Rich Warms. We have been writing introductory anthropology books together now for more than a quarter century. The first edition of Serena's Cultural Anthropology hit the market in the late 1970s, more than 45 years ago. At that time, Serena was the only female author writing textbooks for introductory anthropology. Rich joined Serena in 1995 for the sixth edition of Cultural Anthropology, and we have worked together ever since. It's hard to overstate the changes in the world and in anthropology since the early editions of our books. Many of these have been very encouraging: from the end of the Cold War to the extraordinary increases in diversity throughout society. Others have been deeply disturbing, from the decline of the middle class to the extraordinary polarization of political and social life and the erosion of human rights in many places throughout the world. In 2018, as we wrote the 12th edition of Cultural Anthropology, it was clear that enormous changes were under way in America and elsewhere. In the time that has passed since then, these have only increased. The COVID-19 pandemic and the economic and social changes it brought; the 2020 election and events of January 6, 2021; the Russian invasion of Ukraine; and the resulting economic challenges have all led to fundamental changes in culture around the world. Now, more than ever, we need anthropological understandings to help us make sense of the world. Anthropology can help us think creatively about culture and society. Understanding the different ways that societies have been organized and ways in which other people in other places and times have made meaningful lives different from our own can give us hope for the future. OUR APPROACH TO ANTHROPOLOGY AND PEDOLOGICAL STYLE: We have always deeply believed in the relevance of anthropology. We have always seen anthropology as both a profoundly philosophical and extremely practical endeavor. More than any other discipline, anthropology, by examining the full range of human culture, both past and present, provides us with different ways of thinking about what it means to be human. Thinking about culture gives us new ways to solve problems. The perspectives and skills of anthropology have never been more relevant. Anthropology may not have all the answers, but in a world increasingly characterized by xenophobia, anger, fear of difference, and hostility to those who do not share our views, the information and understandings that anthropology brings may truly help us avert catastrophe. We continue to believe deeply in the value of ethnography and the way it provides a window into other lives. We are inspired every time we return to classic writing in anthropology, some of it now more than a century old. We find enduring meaning in the work and ideas of early 20th-century anthropologists such as Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, E. E. Evans-Pritchard, Bronislaw Malinowski, Zora Neale Hurston, and others. Many of their ethnographic examples and theoretical perspectives remain deeply relevant. An anthropology that focuses only on current culture to the exclusion of historic ethnography is too limited to be useful in helping us understand humanity. However, we also deeply value the ethnographic writing and analysis of the current day and past quarter century. Recent anthropology's focus on issues of power, gender, race, and history; its examination of the ways in which authority is constituted and maintained; and its analysis of structure and agency are critical to using anthropology to think about the world. We have been deeply inspired by authors such as Sherry Ortner, Veena Das, Cheryl Mattingly, Sarah Horton, Joel Robbins, Arthur Kleinman, Tom Boellstorff, Kimberlé Crenshaw, T. M. Luhrmann, and many, many others" |
