This text provides students with a clear and concise statement of the basic concepts of cultural anthropology and shows their interrelationships within a larger conceptual framework. This fifth edition provides current research and updated discussion reflecting postmodernist influences on anthropology in the 1990s. It discusses societal changes due to technological advances, effects of computerization on the work force, the impact of new reproductive technologies on motherhood and parenting, and changes in the conceptualization of gender/gender role and of family organization. A new chapter is devoted to issues of ethnicity, race and nationalism, focusing on the US, Sri Lanka, Quebec and the former Soviet states.

The tapestry of culture: An introduction to cultural anthropology

Scott,Foresman

The most exciting thing about anthropology is that it enables the student to become acquainted with people of different cultures. The Tapestry of Culture provides the student with the basic concepts necessary to understand these different cultures while showing that cultural variations occur within certain limits. Though the forces of globalization have caused cultures of the world around us to become increasingly similar, the book shows that people nevertheless cling to ethnic identities, and their cultural distinctiveness.
