Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology
edited by George D. Spindler and Janice E. Stockard
Since its inception in 1960, this series has influenced the teaching of countless undergraduate and graduate students of anthropology. Now, Wadsworth offers you a selection of over 60 classic and contemporary ethnographies in this series, representing geographic and topical diversity. Newer case studies focus on culture change and culture continuity, reflecting the globalization of the world and treating students to first-hand accounts of the interface between formerly separate ethnic groups and their strategies for survival. Students come to more fully grasp the enormity of the changes they see in the world around them.

Case Studies on Contemporary Social Issues
edited by John Young
Explore how anthropology is used today in understanding and addressing problems faced by human societies around the world. Each case study in this newly acclaimed series uniquely examines an issue of socially recognized importance in the historical, geographical, and cultural context of a particular region of the world, and includes comparative analysis that highlights not only the local effects of globalization, but also the global dimensions of the issue. The authors write with a readable narrative style, and their engagement with people goes beyond being merely observers and researchers, as the anthropologists explain, sometimes illustrating from personal experience how their work has implications for advocacy, community action, and policy formation.
