IN/EQUALITY: An Alternative Anthropology Fifth Edition

by Pem Davidson Buck

IN\/ An Alternative Anthropology 5th Edition continues to be thoroughly rigorous, yet thoroughly accessible, a real alternative to mainstream texts. Written from a critical political economy perspective, In\/Equality encourages students to question the status quo and to examine the ways in which social justice issues and social structure are interconnected. Responding to the immediacy of the ongoing entwined crises surrounding the global pandemic and racial injustice confronting the US and the world, the fifth edition has been updated to provide a thorough analysis of these topics and addresses a wide range of current critical issues including mass incarceration, climate change, MeToo, the struggles for Indigenous sovereignty and for immigrant and undocumented rights, with expanded treatment of white supremacy interwoven, including discussion of settler colonialism. The text is designed to provide a framework of underlying principles and concepts to accompany ethnographies, films, and articles.
