In this new edition of the anthropological classic Exotic No More,
some of today's most respected anthropologists demonstrate the
tremendous contributions that anthropological theory and
ethnographic methods can make to the study of contemporary society.
With chapters covering a wide variety of subjects--the economy,
religion, the sciences, gender and sexuality, human rights, music
and art, tourism, migration, and the internet--this volume shows
how anthropologists grapple with a world that is in constant and
accelerating transformation. Each contributor uses examples from
their adventurous fieldwork to challenge us to rethink some of our
most firmly held notions. This fully updated edition reflects the
best that anthropology has to offer in the twenty-first century.
The result is both an invaluable introduction to the field for
students and a landmark achievement that will set the agenda for
critical approaches to the study of contemporary life.
