Review:

"Core Concepts is an extended glossary of core terms in the field, placed within highly readable and comprehensible historical and thematic narratives. I love that it can be used sequentially as numbered, but also that the chapters can be presented out of sequence without losing the logic and flow. The 'how to read an ethnography' section is brilliant; I love the approach. I know of no text like it on the market."--David M. Buchman, Hanover College
