Introduces readers to divergent views on the food, hygiene, gift-exchange, rites of passage, symbolism, religion, politics, and the environment, and raising awareness of the emotional value people place on those views.
Represents an intricate weave of theory, practice, and history of anthropology in a lucid and easy to understand narrativeUsing instances from around the world and from her own personal experiences, Hendry discusses significant anthropological issues within an argumentative framework. The inclusion of new chapters on topics of immediate relevance, such as Tourism, Globalization, and Transnationalism, makes the second edition a solid, engaging, and thought provoking introduction to contemporary social and cultural anthropology.
