Beskrivning

Mirror for Humanity is a brief introduction to sociocultural anthropology, also covering linguistic and applied anthropology. Its shorter length increases instructors' options for assigning additional readings, such as case studies, within a one-semester course. Mirror for Humanity can also work well in a quarter system, for which traditional texts may be too long. While presenting cultural anthropology's core concepts and topics, Mirror also aims to demonstrate anthropology's relevance to our 21st-century world. The text instills an appreciation of the breadths of cultures; of cultural anthropology as a field; and how an anthropological approach can build on, and help make sense of, the experiences that students bring to the classroom.
