Synopsis

The most successful new textbook for living in a multicultural and global age, now in a concise Essentials Edition.

Covering the essential concepts that drive cultural anthropology today in a newly streamlined format, Ken Guest’s Essentials of Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age shows students that now, more than ever, global forces affect local culture, and that the tools of cultural anthropology are vital to participating in a global society. A “toolkit” approach emphasizes the discipline’s big questions and reinforces key concepts to show that these tools are useful beyond the classroom―in relationships, campus life, workplaces, religious communities, and our globalizing world.
