Description

In this new edition of the anthropological classic Exotic No More, some of today's most respected anthropologists demonstrate the tremendous contributions that anthropological theory and ethnographic methods can make to the study of contemporary society.

With chapters covering a wide variety of subjects--the economy, religion, the sciences, gender and sexuality, human rights, music and art, tourism, migration, and the internet--this volume shows how anthropologists grapple with a world that is in constant and accelerating transformation.

Each contributor uses examples from their adventurous fieldwork to challenge us to rethink some of our most firmly held notions.

This fully updated edition reflects the best that anthropology has to offer in the twenty-first century.

The result is both an invaluable introduction to the field for students and a landmark achievement that will set the agenda for critical approaches to the study of contemporary life. Contributors: Ruben Andersson, Philippe Bourgois, Catherine Buerger, James G.
