ABOUT THE BOOK

Contemporary Anthropology by D. C. Nanjunda is a comprehensive exploration of the modern shifts in the study of humankind. Moving beyond the traditional "armchair" or colonial-era focus of the discipline, the book examines how anthropology now addresses 21st-century issues like globalization, urban migration, and indigenous rights. It serves as a vital bridge between classical theories and the "applied" side of the field, making it a foundational text for students and researchers interested in how human cultures adapt to an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
