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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234868908376,"sku":"9781138969735","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138969735.jpg?v=1770158730","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fifty-years-of-anthropology-and-education-1950-2000","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
