CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT HUMANITY By Robert L. Walsh.

CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT HUMANITY By Robert L. Walsh. In fair condition, side corner is torn. What is cultural anthropology, and how is it relevant in today's world?Robert L. Welsch and Luis A. Vivanco's Cultural Anthropology: Asking Questions About Humanity uses a questions-based approach to teach students how to think anthropologically, helping them view cultural issues and everyday experiences as an anthropologist might.Inspired by the common observation that 99 percent of a good answer is agood question, Cultural Anthropology: Asking Questions About Humanity combines a question-centered pedagogy with the topics typically covered in an introductory course. It emphasizes up front what the discipline ofanthropology knows and which issues are in debate, and how a cultural perspective is relevant to understanding social, political, and economic dynamics in the contemporary world. Cultural Anthropology: Asking Questions About Humanity also represents an effort to close the gap between the realities of the discipline today and traditional views that are taught at the introductory level by bringing classic anthropological examples, cases, and analyses to bear on contemporary questions.
