Investigating Culture : An Experiential Introduction To Anthropology
Paperback Edition: 3
In this fully updated and revised third edition of Investigating Culture: An Experiential Introduction to Anthropology, Delaney and Kaspin build on the foundations of their popular and student-friendly textbook, exploring key anthropological concepts of human culture including: language, the body, food, and time, alongside a wealth of new research material, case studies, and examples.
The new edition includes an increased emphasis on the intersections of culture and power (especially with regards to race, class, and governance) along with allnew material on Kaspins research in Malawi and New England, and on Delaneys recent pilgrimage along El Camino de Santiago in northwestern Spain.
Chapters incorporate the latest information relating to such topical concerns as nuclear waste, sports injuries, the World Trade Center memorial, the food pyramid, fashion trends, electronic media, and many more. As in previous editions, Investigating Culture continues to challenge students to think in new ways and apply their insights to their own lives. With carefully chosen readings, exercises, and more, Delaney and Kaspins essential student textbook retains its reputation as an innovative and invaluable introduction to the field of anthropology that shows students how to gain an understanding of other cultures as well as their own.
