Professor Kotak's field sites include Brazil (beginning in 1962), Madagascar (beginning in 1966) and the United States. The general research interest lies in the process of local cultural incorporation (and resistance to being incorporated into) larger systems. This point of interest links his early research on ecology and state formation in Madagascar and other parts of Africa to his recent research on global change, national and international culture, and mass media.
Understanding Human Diversity: Kotak Anthropology is a classic primer on systematic learning and understanding of anthropological knowledge, which systematically introduces the core concepts, research directions and areas of concern of anthropology from the perspective of four branches, and provides a detailed introduction to livelihood, language and communication, marriage and family, kinship, culture, and art in human society. This book is explained by combining biology, society, culture, and history, interspersed with interesting cases of field research and important topics of the moment, so that the reader has a fuller understanding of the proposition of "what it means to be human". For readers interested in anthropology, this book is an excellent choice to open the door to anthropology.
