Ideal for any Cultural Anthropology course, this brief and inexpensive collection of ethnographic case studies offers a concise introduction to fifteen cultures and exposes students to ethnography without overwhelming them with excessive reading material.
Each sketch, or chapter, was selected for its interest to students and for its ability to reflect the basic concepts found in introductory courses.
Each sketch features critical-thinking questions at its close that enable students to test their understanding of how and why this mini-ethnography illuminates the anthropological theory presented in their textbook.
All sketches follow a logical, consistent organization as they introduce students to major themes such as geography, myth creation, history, sociopolitical systems, and belief systems.
