Ethnographic Essays in Cultural Anthropology A Problem-Based Approach

This collection of ten mini-ethnographies takes a problem-based learning approach, focusing on contextual and cumulative learning to enhance student understanding of the fundamental concepts of cultural anthropology. The problems covered in the text range from how anthropology contributes to an understanding of human similarities and differences and why people believe different things to inequality, violence, poverty, and death. Each problem is explored in the context of a particular society, including Canada, Ecuador, Indonesia, Kohistan, Tibet, Tonga, the United States, and Sudan.Morrison, R. Bruce is the author of 'Ethnographic Essays in Cultural Anthropology A Problem-Based Approach', published 2001 under ISBN 9780875814452 and ISBN 087581445X.
