In Many respects this is a new and different book from my father's. It was not meant to be when I agreed in 1965 to revise Cultural Anthropology. Then I envisioned an updating but not a drastic transformation -- a plan that seemed fitting for a revision of a distinctive book that had inevitably become dated. But by the time completely rewritten section began to outweigh sections retained from the original book, there seemed little reason to strive for preservation. My Freudian friends have watched all this with apprehension and awe, but I no longer doubt that it was a wise course. I can only hope that I steered it well.
To entitle a book New Perspective... would seem to challenge the wrath of the gods. Even to write an introduction to cultural anthropology requires a goodly measure of hubris in a field now so diverse and specialized. But having turned a revision into a new book built on the original--and having done so to reflect not only a change in findings in the field but also an emerging new set of anthroplogical premises -- I have used "New Perspective" to express a double meaning: the perspective are in cultural anthropology and on Cultural Anthropology.
