Description and Table of Contents
Description
An ideal complement to standard anthropology texts or as a stand-alone text/reader, Conformity and Conflict continues to offer students an in-depth look at anthropology as a powerful way to study human behavior and events. The articles cover a broad range of theoretical perspectives and demonstrate basic anthropological concepts. The tenth edition retains the accessibility of the previous editions: a combination of professionalism and readability in selections; the view that anthropology provides perspective on experience; and a carefully integrated organization.
