Anthropology Unbound: A Field Guide to the 21st Century
"The only introductory anthropology text I have ever seen that has the courage not only to address current humanitarian issues of class and state but to tackle the problems head-on with a clear, logical, empirical ethnographic approach." -- Kara Leah Reichart, University of North Carolina "Conversational, explanatory, and provocative, with a clear and strong point of view on the contemporary world. Undergraduate students will thrive on the immediacy of the writing, while professionals will savor the consistent theme of household versus suprahousehold political economy from simple societies to the contemporary world-system." -- Josiah Heyman, Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas-El Paso Anthropology Unbound is the most refreshing text I've ever read, a genuine 'field guide' to the anthropological way of thinking and perceiving the world around us. The authors make the facts unforgettable, the graphs and charts clear and truly helpful, and the messages both substantial and provocative. -- Bonnie J. McCay, Professor of Anthropology and Human Ecology, Rutgers University "Anthropology Unbound helped me teach better than I ever have before." -- Barbara Dilly, Creighton University
