Critic Reviews
"Through the Lens of Cultural Anthropology is an excellent resource for introductory courses. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field in an engaging and highly readable style. The second edition's updated examples will resonate with today's students, and an emphasis on sustainability makes the immediate relevance of anthropology clear. González's enthusiasm for the subject and care for student readers come through strongly. Highly recommended."--Angela C. Jenks, University of California, Irvine
"This text is simultaneously thorough, critical, and accessible. González discusses the long-established major themes in cultural anthropology, with a focus on using the 'lens' of cultural anthropology to make sense of the world and of issues that matter most to students. This book brings energy and enthusiasm that engages learners, as well as clarity and organization that facilitates teaching."--Sarah Shulist, Queen's University
