  For courses in Peoples and Cultures of Latin America found in departments of Anthropology or History.

  This reader is a part of the Exploring Cultures series. Designed to expose students to some of the most important critical thinking by anthropologists across a wide range of issues, it examines Latin American cultures from a number of different perspectives. Very accessible and perceptive, it covers a wide range of topics -- beginning with a general overview of Latin America (observations about size of land mass, geography, population size and growth rates) and then highlighting some of the cultural characteristics that permit us to talk about "Latin America" -- balancing the incredible cultural diversity with some of the overriding features that give at least the appearance of "similarity."

  Europe in the Anthropological Imagination
  Parman

  ISBN-10: 0133374602 | ISBN-13: 9780133374605
  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  Appropriate for undergraduate and graduate level anthropology courses covering Europe, including Peoples and Cultures of Europe; European Ethnography; and Mediterranean Ethnography, as well as courses on the History of Anthropology.

  This is a provocative, reflective book about how American anthropologists study Europe. But, since anthropology has traditionally been defined as a field that studies the non-western, exotic Other, an anthropological study of Europe would appear to be a misnomer. In a larger sense, then, it offers insights into the manner in which ideas emerge and evolve within a discipline. The book is composed of fourteen essays by twelve anthropologists who address how, when, where, and why they first began to study Europe and the implications of those studies for the development of anthropology in general.
