Abstract

ABSTRACT The four books under review are all more or less explicitly critical of the impact of post-modernism on socio-cultural anthropology and archaeology. They all call for the building of anthropology by reconnecting to the earlier traditions of structural and comparative analysis. Although spanning both socio-cultural anthropology and archaeology, they set the focus clearly on the pervasive influence of inequality on social processes. The different authors demonstrate the explanatory power of concepts such as class, surplus, inequality, and structure for a multitude of contexts from prehistoric foragers to neo-liberal market ideologies.

人类学中的不平等与结构回归

摘要：这四本书都或多或少地明确批评了后现代主义对社会文化人类学和考古学的影响。他们都呼吁通过重新连接早期的结构和比较分析传统来建立人类学。尽管它们涵盖了社会文化人类学和考古学，但它们明确地将重点放在了不平等对社会进程的普遍影响上。不同的作者展示了阶级、盈余、不平等和结构等概念在从史前觅食者到新自由主义市场意识形态的多种背景下的解释力。

期刊介绍： Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books. Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines. Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field. The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
