The text I used to teach Anthropology 100.at The Borough of Manhattan Community College, N.Y.C. I found that, even though Mr. Kottak was late comer to anthropology he, managed to put together a test that dealt with modern cultural pardigms, i.e. hip-hop, Netiquette, Mudders, and Baseball in the context of "race."

Efendim yazarı Kottak olsun, çevirmen hocalarımız olsun içinde değerli şahsiyetler barındıran güzide bir başucu kitaptır. Anlamak için antropolojide yüksek lisans öğrencisi olmaya falan gerek de yoktur. Öyle sadedir dili. Antropolojinin alt dallarını barındıran bölüm başlıkları ve her bölümün sonunda Kottak ağabeyimizin ukteleri yer alır.

This book (and the class I used it for) made me fall in love with Anthropology. So much so, that I've made Anthropology my new minor in college! What I really loved about it was the Appreciating Diversity tidbits in each chapter that would relate each topic to a real life example. Overall, the book is fascinating - one of my most interesting college textbooks yet. :)

Provides a clear and fascninating introduction to the many facets of ANT.. The reason I chose to return to college and major in Anthropology!

An easy book to read and somewhat interesting. I think if I'd had more passion for the subject, I would've enjoyed it more overall.
