Reviews in Anthropology

Aims & Scope

Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books.

Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines.

Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field.

The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
