内容説明・目次
内容説明
This text provides students with a clear and concise statement of the basic concepts of cultural anthropology and shows their interrelationships within a larger conceptual framework. This fifth edition provides current research and updated discussion reflecting postmodernist influences on anthropology in the 1990s. It discusses societal changes due to technological advances, effects of computerization on the work force, the impact of new reproductive technologies on motherhood and parenting, and changes in the conceptualization of gender/gender role and of family organization. A new chapter is devoted to issues of ethnicity, race and nationalism, focusing on the US, Sri Lanka, Quebec and the former Soviet states.
