Abstract:
"CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: A PROBLEM-BASED APPROACH uses a hands-on, active-learning approach to encourage critical thinking and discussion as students examine research problems studied by anthropologists. Organized around research problems rather than topics, this 8th edition creates a natural, integrated discussion of concerns, and has been thoroughly updated and reorganized to emphasize contemporary issues around social and economic inequality as well as gender identity. Authors Richard Robbins and Rachel Dowty Beech have also examined reasons behind problems involving globalization, immigration, religion, capitalism, food consumption and production, social media, and the growth and evolution of societies. Students can explore subjects within the context of meaningful questions and critically think about the aspects and potential solutions to these problems. This brief, affordable approach provides flexibility for you to add original research or ethnographies to enrich students' exposure to anthropology"--
