Cultural Anthropology

Praise for previous editions

"Cultural Anthropology stands apart from other textbooks and is a truly unique option for introductory anthropology classes. Eller’s use of language is concise and accessible to the entry-level student. More importantly, the text offers a refreshingly clear focus on the relationship between culture, power and the central social issues of the world."

• Andrew Nelson, University of North Texas, USA

"I have repeatedly returned to Eller for his ability to make difficult subjects accessible without condescension or dilution. This very good introduction is well written and hits all the marks of four field anthropology (and beyond) while never losing the important focus of culture and the human experience."

• Anjana Mebane-Cruz, Farmingdale State College, SUNY, USA

"I would definitely recommend this text to students … it is simply excellent"

• Peter Collins, Durham University, UK

"This textbook will undoubtedly prove invaluable to anthropology students, orientating them into the extensive world of contemporary anthropology. Of particular note is the clarity with which anthropology is presented as offering indispensable insights into the globalized world, whilst not shying away from addressing global political and economic concerns."

• Hannah Rumble, University of Exeter, UK

"Finally, an introductory textbook with real substance. Eller’s thoughtful account takes his readers seriously, providing them with a no-nonsense rendition of cultural anthropology, both past and present. This book does true justice to our discipline."

• John T. Friedman, University College Roosevelt Academy/Utrecht University, the Netherlands
