Reviews

[Bushra]

I am a total newcomer to anthropology.
Really liked the topic, very interesting.
Though last chapters were a little confusing to follow at times.
I would highly suggest for new readers like me to read the glossary first! the amount of time i spent searching for meaning of so many terms to eventually find it in the glossary, would have made life easier if i had known earlier.
