Robert Redfield is remembered today primarily as an anthropologist, but during his lifetime Redfield's cross-disciplinary activity reflected a strong interest in infusing anthropological practice with sociological theory

Robert Redfield is remembered primarily as an anthropologist. This volume aims to bring together Redfield's important contributions to social anthropology. It traces Redfield's seminal contributions to the early development of modernization theory and the interdisciplinary fields of peasant and comparative civilizations studies.

Relying upon readings of virtually of his published and unpublished writings as well as interviews with former colleagues and students, this work traces the development of Robert Redfield's ideas regarding social change and the role of social science in American society.
