Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Lassiter's accessible introduction to anthropology encourages students to evaluate its relevance in our increasingly complex world. Part I focuses on the underlying assumptions and concepts that have driven anthropological theory and practice since its modern inception. Part II explores cross-cultural human issues showing how anthropological studies offer relevant insight into human beings and valuable models for thinking and acting. Invitation to Anthropology is an ideal text for undergraduate students, easily supplemented with case studies in anthropology. Book News Annotation:Lassiter (anthropology, Bell State University) offers an accessible
and interesting introduction to cultural anthropology for
undergraduates and general readers, illustrating the varied
applications of the anthropological perspective for real world
problems on the local, regional, and global scale. Early chapters
focus on underlying assumptions and concepts that drive
anthropological theory, and later chapters explore three cross
cultural human issues: gender, marriage/family/kinship, and religion.
