PUNTOS CLAVE: Applications of anthropology are evident throughout. Unlike other introductory readers, this collection emphasizes how current anthropological research is put to use in everyday life. Whether debating the merits of a career in anthropology or questioning why the subject should be studied, students will grow to appreciate anthropology's widespread uses, from conducting market research to working with refugee communities. Seven of the 29 selections are new.
CONTENIDOS: This supplementary reader is composed of both classic and contemporary articles that demonstrate the significant contributions that cultural anthropologists make; the emphasis is on the applicability of cultural anthropology to understanding and improving the present day human condition.
