Through the Lens of Cultural Anthropology presents an introduction to cultural anthropology designed to engage students who are learning about the anthropological perspective for the first time. The book offers a sustained focus on language, food, and sustainability in an inclusive format that is sensitive to issues of gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. Integrating personal stories from her own fieldwork, Laura Tubelle de Gonzlez brings her passion for transformative learning to students in a way that is both timely and thought-provoking.

The second edition has been revised and updated throughout to reflect recent developments in the field. It includes further discussion of globalization, an expanded focus on Indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada, revised discussion of sexuality and gender identities across the globe, a brief introduction to the anthropology of science, and updated box features and additional discussion questions that focus on applying concepts.

Beautifully illustrated with over sixty full-color images, including comics and maps, Through the Lens of Cultural Anthropology brings concepts to life in a way that resonates with student readers. The second edition is supplemented by a full suite of updated instructor and student resources. For more information, go to www.lensofculturalanthropology.com.

Reviews for Through the Lens of Cultural Anthropology: Second Edition

""Through the Lens of Cultural Anthropology is an excellent resource for introductory courses. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field in an engaging and highly readable style. The second edition's updated examples will resonate with today's students, and an emphasis on sustainability makes the immediate relevance of anthropology clear. González's enthusiasm for the subject and care for student readers come through strongly. Highly recommended.""--Angela C. Jenks, University of California, Irvine ""This text is simultaneously thorough, critical, and accessible. González discusses the long-established major themes in cultural anthropology, with a focus on using the 'lens' of cultural anthropology to make sense of the world and of issues that matter most to students. This book brings energy and enthusiasm that engages learners, as well as clarity and organization that facilitates teaching.""--Sarah Shulist, Queen's University
