"I like the scope of the selections chosen, and the fact that they represent a wide range of contemporary points of viewThe collection of readings fills a void in the materials available on contemporary anthropological theory. I learned some things I hadn't known." — Bernice A. Kaplan, Wayne State University
"This book was highly interesting to me, an anthropologist who has long taught ethnological theory. What I like most is the very catholic approach of the author, which successfully brings much of the range of variation in the theory of cultural anthropology to the attention of the reader. Applebaum is evenhanded in his discussions of particular theories, and the readings selected are quite apropos of the theories discussed."— Frederick C. Gamst, University of Massachusetts
