Description

Unlike textbooks that emphasize the memorization of facts, Asking Questions About Cultural Anthropology: A Concise Introduction, Second Edition, teaches students how to think anthropologically, helping them view cultural issues as an anthropologist might. This approach demonstrates how anthropological thinking can be used as a tool for deciphering everyday experiences. The book covers the essential concepts, terms, and history of cultural anthropology, introducing students to the widely accepted fundamentals and providing a foundation that can be enriched by the use of ethnographies, a reader, articles, lectures, field-based activities, and other kinds of supplements. It balances concise coverage of essential content with a commitment to an active, learner-centered pedagogy.

It is a straightforward read; the chapters are organized in a fashion that builds upon concepts quite nicely. Each chapter explores a different aspect of culture and breaks that aspect down to questions and processes that are easy to understand through the specific examples cited throughout. I think the focus on questions rather than definitive points really help drive the kind of understanding of culture and anthropology that this book is trying to convey. The text encourages the reader to think.
