ウCulture and Identity is the most lucid and up-to-date introduction to
psychological anthropology available, and provides an indispensable
bridge between anthropology and psychology.イ
--Robert A. LeVine, Professor Emeritus of Education and Human Development
and Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Harvard University
In this revised and updated edition of one of the leading textbooks on
psychological anthropology, Charles Lindholm offers a sweeping historical
and theoretical introduction to the field, from its earliest developments to
the present day.
Introducing one of the most fascinating sub-disciplines within
anthropology, Culture and Identity explores the ways individual
perceptions, emotions, beliefs, values, and even experience of the self
can be shaped and changed by shifts in culture and context. Where does
our sense of identity and belonging come from? To what extent is our
identity consistent, and how much is malleable? What does it mean to be
an individual but also a member of a community?
Drawing from a broad, inter-disciplinary range of debates, Culture and
Identity sheds light not only on modern questions concerning the nature
of identity, but also on cognition, creativity, deviance, mental illness,
love, and community, to provide a fascinating insight into who we are,
and how we came to be this way. With an engaging narrative and a
comprehensive range of supporting materials, Lindholm has produced an
authoritative guide, and an indispensable resource for students.
ウAn important intellectual synthesis and a superb teaching text.イ
--Steven Parish, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, San
Diego
ウLindholm provides sophisticated and readable coverage of both the history
of psychological anthropology and contemporary research in the areas of
cognition, self and emotion, and mental illness.イ
--Cyndi Dunn, Professor of Anthropology, University of Northern Iowa
CHARLES LINDHOLM is a Professor in the prestigious University Professors
Program and in the Department of Anthropology at Boston University. Prior to
coming to Boston in 1990 he taught at Columbia, Barnard, and Harvard, where

publications include Generosity and Jealousy: The Swat Pukhtun of Northern
