Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture

Title: Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture
Abstract/Description: 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.
