ANT 458 - Anthropology of War


Surveys war in human prehistory and history and the anthropological theories developed to explain it. The primary focus is on pre-industrial warfare, especially the contact-era Pacific. Throughout the course, however, this comparative perspective will be brought to bear on what pre-modern warfare tells us about war in the modern world.

Satisfies the General Education Social Contexts and Institutions and Cultural Diversity and International Perspectives Requirements.
