Culture Counts: A Concise Introduction to Cultural Anthropology

by Serena Nanda, Richard L. Warms, Richard L Warms

Now with SAGE Publishing!

Culture Counts is a concise introduction to anthropology that illustrates why culture matters in our understanding of humanity and the world around us. Serena Nanda and Richard L. Warms draw students in with engaging ethnographic stories and a conversational writing style that encourages them to interact cross-culturally, solve problems, and effect positive change. The brief format gives majors and non-majors the essentials they need and frees up the instructor to teach the course the way they want to teach it.

The Fifth Edition includes new examples and vignettes that are important to the study of cultural anthropology. Issues of gender, identity, globalization, intersectionality, inequality, and public health have been incorporated throughout the book, as well as a new chapter on race and ethnicity that brings the book in step with recent conversations about power, race, and history.

This title is accompanied by a complete teaching and learning package.

Kiva kirja, helppoa kieltä ja hyviä esimerkkejä. USA:n näkökulma kyllä tuli vähän turhan paljon välillä esille.
