Summary

Covering the essential concepts that drive cultural anthropology today, Ken Guest’s Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age shows students that now, more than ever, global forces affect local culture and that the tools of cultural anthropology are essential to living in a global society. A “toolkit” approach encourages students to pay attention to big questions raised by anthropologists, offers study tools to remind readers what concepts are important, and shows them why it all matters in the real world.Designed to complement Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age, every activity in the Fieldwork Journal enhances students’ understanding of the concepts covered in the parent textbook. When paired with each chapter’s reading, practicing fieldwork skills such as note-taking, interviewing, map-making, and drawing large-scale conclusions from careful observation will engage students more deeply in the course material. Compact and easy to use, the Fieldwork Journal includes space to write notes and record data.
