«Vacas, cerdos, guerras y brujas. Los enigmas de la cultura» is the essay by Marvin Harris published by Alianza / Del Prado in hardback (100 pages).
Marvin Harris tackles several cultural enigmas with an original and engaging approach, proposing explanations that connect everyday practices with major beliefs. The work examines everything from machismo to messianic movements and reflects on the place of animals in different societies, war, and religion.
The Spanish-language edition was published in 1994 as part of the Biblioteca Temática Alianza collection, by Alianza Editorial and Del Prado.
Marvin Harris was an American anthropologist. He was born in Brooklyn, New York City. A prolific writer, he was highly influential in the development of cultural materialism. In his work, he combined Karl Marx's emphasis on the forces of production with Thomas Malthus's insights on the impact of demographic factors on other parts of the sociocultural system.
