ISBN: 0073530913 Copyright year: 2007
Feature Summary
"Issues Boxes" illustrate points with examples familiar to students and give students an opportunity to explore anthropology's relevance to their own lives. Some boxes examine current events or debates; others offer relevant personal accounts.
The author includes discussions of ethnicity and nationalism in a global context, as well as of diversity and multiculturalism in North America.
The text highlights anthropology's increasingly transnational, multilocal, and longitudinal perspectives.
While this text shares some content with Kottak’s brief cultural anthropology book, Mirror for Humanity, six chapters (Chapters 3-8) are unique to Window on Humanity.
Chapter 1 is the same in both Window on Humanity and Mirror for Humanity, and chapters 9-19 in Window are the same as chapters 3-13 in Mirror. Chapter 2 is different in the two books.
