I don’t know too much about him, because I’m a beginner in the way of the Anthropology, but I have read a few of his works, and I think that they will be useful for my training in the carrer. Maybe he is an excellent person. Someday I am going to know it.
He is anarchist !!! Be careful! That's bad

ReplyDeleteHe is a great anthropologist, I like his books of theories in anthropology. Besides, I like cultural materialism.
Remember The anthropolgy must be sciencie.
Sadly, the anthropology should be a science, but many people try all the time to do it increasingly lazy. Marvin Harris is one of few anthropologists that it tries to do interesting and difficult works with the discipline. Because of it it is the biggest thing, and I love it <3
