Overview

Through the Lens of Cultural Anthropology presents an introduction to cultural anthropology designed to engage students who are learning about the anthropological perspective for the first time. The book offers a sustained focus on language, food, and sustainability in an inclusive format that is sensitive to issues of gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. Integrating personal stories from her own fieldwork, Laura Tubelle de González brings her passion for transformative learning to students in a way that is both timely and thought-provoking. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout to reflect recent developments in the field. It includes further discussion of globalization, an expanded focus on Indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada, revised discussion of sexuality and gender identities across the globe, a brief introduction to the anthropology of science, and updated box features and additional discussion questions that focus on applying concepts. Beautifully illustrated with over sixty full-color images, including comics and maps, Through the Lens of Cultural Anthropology brings concepts to life in a way that resonates with student readers. The second edition is supplemented by a full suite of updated instructor and student resources. For more information, go to lensofculturalanthropology.com.
