Anthropology Anywhere is a concise introduction to the field of cultural anthropology that challenges students to think anthropologically and integrates a social justice perspective. Broken into four parts, the text opens by defining anthropology and culture and outlines research methods anthropologists use today. The book then foregrounds issues of identity before addressing the mechanics of how societies are structured. Lauren Elizabeth Miller offers instructors an updated approach to ways of thinking about classic anthropological concepts including kinship and political organization. A rich pedagogical program includes part introductions and syntheses to help readers make sense of how seemingly diverse concepts connect to one another, case studies that apply concepts from each chapter to real-life scenarios, and globalization boxes that highlight the utility of anthropological concepts in diverse cultural settings.
