Van den Berghe (sociology &amp; anthropology, U. of Washington) investigated the impact of tourism in a Mexican town he has visited periodically since 1959, focusing in particular on tourism motivated by an active search for the ethnically exotic. He reveals some of the benefits to the community and some of the drawbacks and potential dangers, and he concludes with a warning against jumping too quickly to conclusions.

Man in society: A biosocial view

Good sociology should begin with the application of radical scepticism and criticism to one's own society, to one's place in it, and, by extension, to all social behavior, pronounces Van den Berghe in the preface to Man in Society. This volume is designed to arouse in the reader a healthy number of questions about society and the state of man which the author hopes may stimulate the reader to become a critically informed member of his society.

Man In Society: A Biosocial View

Human Family Systems integrates the approaches of anthropology and evolutionary biology to understand both the uniformity and the variability in human systems of marriage and kinship. It looks at the kind of mating and reproductive system we evolved as a unique species of mammal and primate, and at the kind of cultural adaptations we developed in the wide range of habitats our species colonized. Our genome and our culture are seen as interacting in an evolutionary process of adaptation to complex and changing environments. Human systems of kinship and marriage are, simply put, the uniquely human ways of raising babies successfully to become themselves reproductive adults.
