There are some changes in chapter order and content. “Ethnicity and Race” has been moved from Chapter 4 to Chapter 11 . Material on colonialism formerly in Chapter 12 has been combined with historical material on the world system in a new Chapter 10, “The World System and Colonialism.” The discussion of development anthropology has been moved from the chapter titled “Colonialism and Development” in the last edition to a new chapter (12) on applied anthropology. The discussion of applied anthropology formerly in Chapter 1 is now in Chapter 12, “Applying Anthropology.” Chapter 12 highlights the importance of this second dimension of anthropology. All chapters have been updated, and some have been revised substantially (1, 10, 11, 12, and 13). Charts, tables, and statistics have been updated with the most recent figures available. Two new end-of-chapter boxes are included, to bring home anthropology’s relevance to current issues and events. The focus on global themes, trends, and issues has been strengthened even further in this edition.
