Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

This textbook seeks to highlight the diverse voices of contemporary anthropology, emphasizing that anthropology works best amidst diversity. We hope that all students will feel more engaged when they see themselves reflected in the people, examples, and stories of contemporary anthropology, which has been profoundly improved by the inclusion of diverse, global perspectives over the past several decades.
