Sociocultural Anthropology

Taking a unique, problem-based approach, the fourth Canadian edition of this text encourages students to apply a critical mindset to the key concepts and methods outlined throughout the textbook. Each chapter is organized around an intellectual "problem" and then further divided into a series of questions that addresses them from an anthropological perspective. This approach, along with discussion of current and contemporary issues, encourages students to imagine what it is like to be an anthropologist in the field, bridging the gap between class and fieldwork.
