This book didn't help me understand what Social Anthropology is. It felt like it was repeating itself by which it just made me a lot more confused than I was before.
It has three "chapters". First talks about what is NOT social anthropology (which somewhat confused me because it felt a bit self-contradictory).
Second - what IS social anthropology (sure).
Third and last chapter is a bit useless both because this was written in a different time and is not as relevant and also because it's just weird to read about "what can you do in life after studying social anthropology?"
The only nice thing about it is that it gives additional sources and names for further familiarization. Do not recommend it, a very weird beginning for such a theme.
