Interpreting Clifford Geertz: cultural investigation in the social sciences

Theorist Clifford Geertz's influence extends far beyond Anthropology. This volume reflects the breadth of his influence, looking at Geertz as a theorist rather than as an anthropologist. To date there has been no impartial, comprehensive, and authoritative work published on this critical figure. JEFFREY C. ALEXANDER is Professor of Sociology at Yale University, USA. . PHILIP SMITH is Associate Professor of Sociology at Yale University, USA. . MATTHEW NORTON is a PhD Candidate at Yale University, USA.
