| Summary: |
Presents a survey of cultural anthropology, the branch of anthropology focused on the study of cultural variation among humans. Intended to inspire students to think like anthropologists in a multicultural and global age, this work covers the essential concepts that drive cultural anthropology today, and emphasizes the tools of cultural anthropologists. A "toolkit" approach encourages students to pay attention to big questions raised by anthropologists, offers study tools to remind readers what concepts are important, and shows them why it all matters in the real world. |
