Culture Change and Modernization: Mini-Models and Case Studies

by Louise S. Spindler

Practically all aspects of anthropology deal in one way or another, implicitly or explicitly, with change. This volume provides readers with both a systematic overview of the major concepts and processes involved in sociocultural preservation and change as well as rich illustrative data selected from case studies representing a wide range of human societies. Spindler presents this complex, important subject in a coherent, integrative manner.
