In this volume composed of several cross-cultural case studies in deviance, the editors show how an anthropological comparative study can shed new light on the subject. Anthropologists have tended to avoid studying deviance as a phenomena in and of itself, concentrating instead on particular sorts of deviance such as sorcery, alcoholism, and suicide. An anthropology of deviance is likely to create new models, which challenge many of the sociological assumptions currently used to interpret and understand deviance. Deviance presents the results of fieldwork in the Arctic, the West Indies, Africa, and the Far East in individual ethnographic essays. This unique book improves not only our understanding of deviant behavior, but of sociocultural order as well.

Through the myth of Don Juan as well as the personality of Casanova, he highlights the biological parameter of the personality and the thought of Kierkegaard and Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav.

Many studies of Black men have been and will be produced, but most have approached the subject from angles other than a position of scholarship that explores how Black men have come to be socially produced as deviants, and asks how have persons in academe participated in the production of these perceived deviants, and how has the Black community responded to this social construct of a role. This work is directed toward sociologists and those who are interested in the study of the Black community.
