Summary:So far, much of the critical analysis of the role of place in culture has been carried out at a more general level of theoretical debate. Siting Culture argues that it is only through rich ethnographic studies that anthropologists may explore the significance of place in the global space of relations which mold the everyday lives of people throughout the world.
