About this product

Product Information

Comprehensive, readable and written for the student, Haviland/Prins/Walwrath's market-leading text, CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, is a highly relevant, high-quality teaching tool. The narrative voice of the text has been thoroughly internationalized and the "we: they" Western voice has been replaced with an inclusive one that will resonate with both Western and non-Western students and professors. In addition, gender, ethnicity, and stratification concepts and terminologies have been completely overhauled in accordance with contemporary thinking and the narrative streamlined using more fully developed, balanced, and global examples. In CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY, the authors present students with examples of "local responses" to challenging globalization issues, designed to provide students with a "cross-cultural survival guide" for living in the diverse, multicultural world of the 21st century. This edition is a truly exciting and unique examination into the field of cultural anthropology, its insights, its relevance, and the continuing role of cultural survival issues.

A Book For Class
I bought this book for my Anthropology class. I'm glad he let us use any versions after the 10th version! I actually like this book, it's easy to read and all the definitions that you should know is highlighted and it's on the same page. It also gives you explanation as you read along. I find myself reading this text book with enjoyment instead of trying to read it for a class. It doesn't get boring like most text book you read for a college course. Another factor that I like about it? It's not heavy!!

Cultural Anthropology, 11th edition review.
The 11th edition of this text is excellent. However, there are some major differences between the 11th and 12th editions, including the addition of an entire chapeter on Ethnographic Research and its history. Also, at the end of each chapter in both texts there are questions, usually aither 3 or 4, that your professor will ask you to answer. The 12th edition has an extra question added to almost every chapter that the 11th edition does not. In conclusion,the 11th edition is not a good substitution for the 12th edition if you are trying to save money. However, on its own, it is an excellent text.

Cultural Anthropology 11th edition
The 12th edition of this text book is used at a variety of universities across the U.S. This is the 11th edition. My professor said it would be fine to use this edition. there is one chapter that has been added to the 12th edition, so you will need to get a copy of chapter 3.
