This book brings together their best, most seminal work from the last 50 years--a time frame representing the developmental epoch of the field--and binds them together with a master commentary by George Spindler. Previously scattered over a wide range of publications, the articles collected here allow for a unified view of the Spindlers' work and of the development of the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book opens with an insightful Foreword by Henry T. Trueba, a fascinating piece titled \"A Life With Anthropology and Education: Interviews With George and Louise Spindler by Ray McDermott and Frederick Erickson,\" and George Spindler's \"Previews\" essay which gives the reader a grasp of the whole to which the parts of the book contribute. These pieces frame and contextualize the work that follows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Part I, \u003ci\u003eCharacter Defining\u003c\/i\u003e, many of the major themes of this volume are first encountered; this section sets the stage for what follows. Part II, \u003ci\u003eComparisons\u003c\/i\u003e, focuses on comparison, which the Spindlers view as essential to an anthropological approach. Part III, \u003ci\u003eEthnography in Action\u003c\/i\u003e, is devoted to the explicit exposition of ethnographic methods (though actually every piece in the book is a demonstration of method). Part IV, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, moves from a traditional representation of American Culture to a processual analysis of how the culture is transmitted in real situations, and finally to an interpretation of right-wing actions that seem to constitute a reactive movement; the implications for education are pursued. Part V, \u003ci\u003eCultural Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e, explains what cultural therapy is and how it may be applied to teachers and students. The volume concludes with Part VI, \u003ci\u003eOrientation\u003c\/i\u003e, Susan Parman's overview of the works of the Spindlers that spans their whole career.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45237881307287,"sku":"9781138969735","price":4399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138969735.webp?v=1769217906","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fifty-years-of-anthropology-and-education-1950-2000-a-spindler-anthology-9781138969735","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
