no feminism, no anticapitalism, no antiracism, just pure knowledge, is there such a books?
>>18290375No. Best bet would be to track down reading lists from the 20s for ivy league courses and go from there.
>>18290466Oh, and try for really niche topics in journals. https://www.socanth.cam.ac.uk/system/files/documents/jal-sacrificeritual-humphreylaidlaw2007.pdfFor example.
You don't hate academics enough.
>>18290471>>18290466>>18290375Actually, try The Interpretation of Cultures - it's basically a long argument on why you should interpret things through the social meaning of the culture participants themselves rather than trying to reverse engineer it through the appearance of the rituals and artifacts but it's okay. Pretty foundational stuff, a little bit wanky, served as the jumping off point for a lot of shit today unfortunately. The idea is that you can 'read' a culture rather than classify it - you understand the meaning and intersubjectivity rather than its laws, systems, categories, etc. That's as close as you're going to get. Don't read anything published after it.You can also read old history journal articles, they're often free and tend to be less monofocused, touching on anthropological stuff on the side but you might need to do some reading because there's a lot of assumed knowledge. The American and the English Historical Reviews, The Historical Journal and the like are often free to find on internet archive in the older editions and the newer are pirated on yandex somewhere.>>18290724No, no we do not. https://jamesgmartin.center/2016/02/turning-anthropology-from-science-into-political-activism/
