Cultural Anthropology: An Applied Approach provides students with a collection of readings that explore the practical applications and cultural dimensions of anthropology, as well as contemporary social issues. The anthology is organized into 15 chapters, each focusing on a specific anthropological theme such as tradition knowledge in Sami culture, public ethnography, language and identity, race, inequality, gender, sexuality, kinship, religion, health, dance, and environmental challenges. The chapters are structured to include both a thematic introduction and a detailed reading, providing a comprehensive examination of each topic. The topical areas covered in the book range from the study of traditional cultures to the analysis of modern social problems, including race, gender, and environmental crises. Cultural Anthropology is an ideal resource for courses within the discipline, especially those with focus on cultural and social anthropology.
