Böcker av David E. Johnson

A compelling reassertion of the importance of "literature" (that which names) as a determiner for how we engage in and with the world, paying particular attention to violence against women and Amerindians in Mexico's recent and formative history.

Posing a challenge to dominant trends in cultural analysis, this book covers the whole history of the concept of culture, providing the broadest study of this notion. It examines the principal methodological strategies or metaphors of anthropology and argues that they do not manage to escape anthropology's grounding in representational practices.

Johnson examines the U.S. Army's innovations for both armor and aviation between the world wars, offering valuable insights for future military innovation.
