Culture Anthropology

Indeks : p. 339-347 ; p. 315-338 ; This book takes a fresh, though-provoking look at communities and cultures around the globe to give you a cross-cultural understanding the cultures of others. This edition provides interesting examples of what Canadian anthropologists are doing around the world and is made more relevant by the addition of over 230 new references that highlight recent Canadian research.Brief and accessible, this book is organized around problems rather than topics : How can people begin to understand beliefs and behaviours that are different from their own?, How do societies give meaning to and justify collective violence?, Why are some societies more industrially advanced than others?, How do people determine who they are and how do they communicate they think they are to others?.
