Preferred term
urban anthropology
Definition
- The term urban anthropology came to designate a subfield of cultural anthropology in the 1960s, even though anthropologists have been conducting research in cities since the 1930s. While ethnography, the core methodological tradition of anthropology, derives from in-depth studies of rural and village life, the development of urban anthropology also reflects broader conceptual debates within the discipline.
