Rezensionen

I wish this handbook had been available when I started teaching Cultural Anthropology. The struggle for most Anthropology professors is how to introduce students to the discipline s history and theories while simultaneously encouraging students to challenge those facts. This volume does that brilliantly. And introducing students to critical sub-fields through chapters highlighting key questions, themes and literatures is, in my experience, the best way to introduce students to the discipline. This handbook is exactly the type of framing of the discipline needed at this historical moment.
