Mirror for Humanity: A Concise Introduction to Cultural Anthropology, 13th Edition eBook

Mirror for Humanity is a brief introduction to sociocultural anthropology also covering linguistic and applied anthropology. Its shorter length increases the instructor’s options for assigning additional reading—case studies readers and other supplements—within a one semester course. Mirror For Humanity can also work well in a quarter system for which traditional texts may be too long. While presenting cultural anthropology’s core concepts and topics Mirror also aims to demonstrate anthropology’s relevance to the 21st-century world we inhabit. The text aims to instill an appreciation of cultural diversity of cultural anthropology as a field and of how an anthropological approach can build on and help make sense of the experience that students bring to the classroom.
