Description:

The first mainstream book to truly integrate coverage of race, class, gender, ethnicity and age in cultural anthropology! Emphasizing social inequality, this book explains how inequalities affect economy, kinship, politics, religion and language while still covering the core concepts of cultural anthropology. Miller's innovative approach combines a solid materialist foundation with attention to interpretive approaches and findings. For anyone with an interest in cultural anthropology.
