Perspectives - An Open Invitation to Cultural Anthropology 2e

This novel textbook on the essential topics in cultural anthropology is an edited volume with each chapter written by a different author that has written from their experiences working as an anthropologist and that personal touch makes for an accessible introduction to cultural anthropology. Our approach to cultural anthropology is holistic. We see the interconnectedness of cultural practices and we emphasize the comparison of cultures and the ways of life of different peoples.
