Readings in Cultural Anthropology and the Contemporary World:
Critical Perspectives provides students with a carefully curated
selection of articles that address the principal issues inclusive
in the history of the discipline, including globalization, gender,
race and ethnicity, kinship, language, and climate change. The
anthology is divided into six units. The readings in Unit I address
the history of the cultural anthropology discipline and its
all-important and central concept of culture. In Unit II, students
read selections that address race and ethnicity, including
historical and contemporary conceptions of race and the highly
politicized US-Mexico border. Unit III focuses on economic
anthropology with readings that discuss women as economic agents
and the economic factors and consequences associated with migrants.
Unit IV is about political anthropology and includes two readings
that criticize some of the stereotypes associated with leadership
among Indigenous people. In Unit V, the readings distinguish sex as
biological for gender as social constructs and examine the reality
of gender-based violence. The final unit explores the world system
and globalization, including readings that cover a range of topics
from the internet to the globalization of fast food to climate
change. Readings in Cultural Anthropology and the Contemporary
World is an ideal primary or supplementary resource for courses in
cultural anthropology and anthropological theory.
