Add Tag | Summary: | The second edition of Barbara Miller's Cultural Anthropology takes an innovative approach to the subject by combining a solid materialist foundation with attention to interpretive approaches and findings. This contemporary book continues to emphasize social inequality and explain its affect on economy, kinship, politics, religion, and language while still covering the core concepts of cultural anthropology. Contemporary issues, such as health systems, migration, and development, are integrated through out the book to highlight the practical applications and relevance of cultural anthropology studies to today's society. Miller's knack for showing students how anthropology is relevant to their lives and skill at generating lively discussion continue to win her book high praise. |
