Carneiro by Robert Bates Graber
Robert L. Carneiro is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in anthropology in the twentieth century, best known for A Theory of the Origin of the State (1970). His efforts throughout his career brought cultural evolutionism from its nineteenth-century origins into the twenty-first century. This book is comprised of thirteen essays, ordered and balanced according to Carneiro's own conceptual arrangement, and aims to contribute to revitalizing this durable, illuminating theoretical perspective for current and future generations of students and anthropologists.
“This book presents a number of important papers, previously published, by the respected anthropologist and proponent of cultural evolution, Robert LCarneiro.” • Janet Chernela, University of Maryland
“The volume is especially useful in bringing to light quite a few of Carneiro’s works that have not got the attention they perhaps deserve…as the preface makes clear, [ ] Carneiro himself structured the chapter sequence, which gives the chapters a coherence, Carneiro’s personal imprimatur, and historical value as a document reflecting how he saw his ideas develop through his career.” • Paul Roscoe, University of Maine
