Conformity and Conflict: Readings in Cultural Anthropology (11th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent for those new to cultural anthropology
Review: This is an ideal book to use to try to pull people into the study of cultural anthropology. It successfully stays away from the excessive use of jargon. The articles are short enough that even students with the lowest attention spans can't complain. The articles themselves come from many different angles, and while almost all of them are extremely articulate and well-structured, they also tend to be successful at emotionally engaging the reader. If used in a class, students will respond.
