Product Description

How do people learn and experience their culture? How do people make a living? What does it mean to be in a family? How do we make sense of peoples’ beliefs and ritual practices? In exploring questions such as these, this cultural anthropology reader focuses on contemporary global concerns and includes a significant number of articles by authors from outside the United States.

A dynamic development in the fourth edition is the inclusion of “Anthropology and Public Debate” sections, in which opposing anthropological arguments on current hot topics are featured. In addition, “Doing Fieldwork” essays consider the nature and dilemmas of fieldwork, the changing status of the field, the nature of anthropological learning in the field, and ethical issues and dilemmas.

Customer Reviews

Cool little flashlight
I bought this online the day before i found a two pack at COSTCO for the same price but oh well... Now i have three! I like them a lot. Great for camping and other things like that. They are much brighter than i expected, although the battery life is not quite as long, maybe 6hrs of light on an 8hr charge, its still really good and well worth the money.

Talking to People Review
Although the book was in very good condition it took almost 4 weeks for the book to arrive. I am not sure whether this has to do with the seller or the post-office, however other books ordered at the same time through other sellers arrived weeks earlier.
