Customer Reviews

a pretty good required read
I needed this book for my Anthropology and globalization class. I was happy to find it here on amazon for a reduced price. Its fairly interesting for a school text. The book is set up as a variety of issues, with one author being for and the other against a subject. It is interesting to see both sides of the story.

Biased...should not be used for classes
Do not recommend for students...I had to buy it for a college level class. Relies heavily on articles by think tank, non-experts on the issues...with obvious political biases. Do your own research and challenge the facts.
