Asking Questions About Cultural Anthropology : A Concise Introduction (Third edition)

Unlike textbooks that emphasize the memorization of facts, Asking Questions About Cultural Anthropology: A Concise Introduction, Third Edition, teaches students how to think anthropologically, helping them view cultural issues as an anthropologist might.

This approach demonstrates how anthropological thinking can be used as a tool for deciphering everyday experiences.

The book covers the essential concepts, terms, and history of cultural anthropology, introducing students to the widely accepted fundamentals and providing a foundation that can be enriched by the use of ethnographies, a reader, articles, lectures, field-based activities, and other kinds of supplements.

It balances concise coverage of essential content with a commitment to an active, learner-centered pedagogy.
