Cultural Anthropology Textbook 12th Edition

Reviewed by Jason James, Associate Professor, University of Mary Washington on 6/20/18 Comprehensiveness rating: 4 The text as a whole is very comprehensive, as are the individual chapters. With one exception the text covers all of the topics I include in my introductory course in cultural anthropology. The one topic missing in my view is social class and the cultural dimensions of inequality, particularly the concepts of cultural and social capital as well as resistance. Anthropological approaches influenced my Marx and Marxist thinking could receive more attention. Chapters on language, politics, and economics do address the issue to some extent, but my ideal text would include a more extensive treatment of this topic. Accuracy rating: 4 I find the text to be quite accurate on the whole.
