Reviews"Cultural Anthropology is a well-designed reader. Its strengths are a combination of new materials and 'classics,' a strong emphasis on practicing anthropology, and materials for enhancing student understanding of critically-engaged anthropology."--Alexa Dietrich, Wagner College "The approach of Cultural Anthropology emphasizes critical thinking and engagement. This is a valuable reader with strong, engaging content and lots of great materials for discussion. The key terms and review questions are wonderful."--Eden Welker, Aims Community College "The writing in Cultural Anthropology is quite good, and my students enjoy the readings. There's enough classic anthropology to meet my needs, as well as more current topics that speak to students' experiences of the world. The text is very up to date."--Fae Grace Goodman, Central Carolina Community College, "Cultural Anthropology is a well-designed reader.
