In The Interpretation of Cultures, the most original anthropologist of his generation moved far beyond the traditional confines of his discipline to develop an important new concept of culture. This groundbreaking book, winner of the 1974 Sorokin Award of the American Sociological Association, helped define for an entire generation of anthropologists what their field is ultimately about.

Review: The Interpretation of Cultures

User Review  - Petr Špecián - Goodreads

Geertz's method is far from clear and unsuspicious (as probably generally is the case in anthropology) but this book still represents a piece of great writing on fascinating topics. Especcially the more theoretical chapters on religion and ideology I consider worth close attention. Read full review
