Abstract:
"Framed around the concept of culture, CULTURE COUNTS, uses ethnographic storytelling to draw students into the material and teach valuable critical-thinking skills. With a conversational voice, authors Serena Nanda and Richard L. Warms introduce concepts and application to the reader by opening each chapter with rich and engaging ethnographic vignettes, then pedagogically reinforce "doing anthropology" throughout each chapter to emphasize cultural anthropology's role in one's ability to understand and potentially change society. Contemporary topics such as race, gender, identity, globalization, intersectionality, inequality, and public health have all been the focus of extensive updates and revisions in this 5th edition in order to support the reader's interest in the continual changes to our world"--
