Critical Reviews
"Anthropology: What Does It Mean to Be Human? does especially well at introducing more challenging--but important--theories and concepts. The focus on power and inequality, demonstrated through a discussion of important recent studies and perspectives, sets this book apart."--Kathe Managan, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
"I've really enjoyed Anthropology: What Does It Mean to Be Human? over the years. I like how all of the concepts have examples in a variety of cultures. My students often comment on how many new cultures and regions they've been introduced to simply because of the approach the authors have taken."--Susan Moore, Wayne State College
